From Boomkat:
**Edition of 300 copies pressed on
transparent yellow wax in wraparound
sleeve and poly jacket** Following a
trio of impossible-to-obtain releases
for his own Cotton Goods CD imprint,
Craig Tattersal (The Boats / Remote
Viewer / Hood) returns with his first
ever vinyl transmission as The Humble
Bee. The project makes subtle use of
field recordings and analog overlays in
a manner that anyone familiar with
Tattersal's work over the years will
know and love. On 'Henrietta' recordings
made in Cornwall during November 2011
are enhanced by the warm fuzz of a vinyl
pressing, in places reminding us of
Pole's seminal first album with it's
loose adherence to broken fidelity.
Sharply contrasting with Other Ideas'
relatively radical aces from The Mistys
and The Boats, it offers quieter, more
contemplative sentiments, capturing and
playing around with the autumnal
atmosphere of rural Cornwall. Scuffed,
sepia-toned field recordings are
filtered through Tattersall's patented
fuzz boxes and rubbed like leaf drawings
against music box tinkles and keys that
dapple the surface like fading, late
afternoon November light on a fresh
puddle. If Bellows came from Lancashire
and holidayed in the south west, we'd
imagine this is the sort of music they
might make; haptic, melancholic, just-
out-of-focus, like hearing musical
composting in action.
