>>>INFO :
Having hidden herself away for some time, Hepzibah Broom is now unleashed upon the world via the Red Deer label. This surely is a match made in heaven; a truly independent label and an even more independent voice, Red Deer Club proudly presents her debut EP.
Perched in a cliff high granite cottage, once home to notorious Cornish witch and wrecker Madge Figgy, lives Hepzibah Broom.
Writing, playing and recording alone, time has led Hepzibah further into her otherworldly languages. With a host of stringed instruments, bells, cymbals, shells, bones and air flute, she creates the ethereal backbone of her compositions. Swinging from a mysterious guttural chant to a sublime bird-like quiver, this is an artist of singular vocal ability.
Years spent in India experimenting with psychotropic plants have left Hepzibah with an ability to obtain the trance state in which much of her music is created.
On her return from India, Hepzibah studied herbal medicine in Sussex. She still makes herbal potions, regularly imbibing Datura to help her insomnia.
Datura taken in tincture form seems to induce dreams in which epic battles are fought with the psyche.
Hepzibah’s songs are often written in Fogous*, on surrounding cliffs and in a large cave where the St Michael and St Mary ley lines are said to enter Cornwall. Rarely performing in public, Hepzibah is happily involved in her woodland rituals, herbalism and sculpture.
“Her voice is warm and true, her music matches this quality” Josephine Foster
*Megalithic underground chambers unique to Cornwall.
