: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: Deep England is Gazelle Twin's reimagining, with the help of :,
: ambient drone choir NYX, of her 2018 Pastoral album. Based on :
:' their live reworking of the album from 2019, it is like the ':
,: musical soundtrack to wandering through an unfamiliar English :,
: forest under the influence of magic mushrooms. For where :
:' Pastoral was angular and harsh, Deep England is haunting and ':
,: trippy and is really something special. One thing it isn't, :,
: though, is hippy dippy. :
:' ':
,: Opening with the sound of church bells, "Glory" brings in :,
: recorders, ambient electronic drone and a female choir of pagan :
:' plainsong like a hallucinatory witchy take on Wardruna's ':
,: schtick. It then moves on to "Folly", which starts in similar :,
: territory before producer/mixer Marta Salogni starts tugging at :
:' the musical threads and almost randomly pulling them out of the ':
,: song, as it falls apart piece by piece. "Throne" is more spaced :,
: out, ethereal and disorientating, spinning a tuneful narcotic :
:' web as Elizabeth Bernholz intones "I sit on the throne / I ':
,: gather your souls". :,
: :
:' Elsewhere, Gazelle Twin and NYX cover "Fire Leap", the ':
,: otherworldly pagan fertility song from The Wickerman, while :,
: William Blake's "Jerusalem", which has been claimed by everyone :
:' from The Fall and Emerson, Lake and Palmer to the Church of ':
,: England over the years, is reimagined as an acapella prayer, :,
: drenched in reverb with an unobtrusive electronic drone :
:' underlay. It stands in stark contrast to the chanted, ':
,: claustrophobic and gammon-baiting "Better in my Day". :,
: :
:' The title track is similarly bleak but earthy, primal but ':
,: cosmic, as it moves through the ether, casting its unsettling :,
: spell before bringing things to an end with "Golden Dawn". Here, :
:' the Green Man is finally summoned from the depths of creation, ':
,: as female voices float and entwine around him before burying him :,
: in the fields and the woodland beyond the cities and the tarmac. :
:' ':
