My Kappa Roots (aka Pablo Clark) grew up on the north shores
of the Kingdom of Fife, a region of contradictions, of pretty
seaside villages and ex-coal mining towns. It is against this
landscape that My Kappa Roots sets his songs, poetic rites of
passage, linked by myth and magic. Tales recounted at first
light creating a place, part truth part fiction, but a sense
of place which even now holds him under its spell.
The House of St. Colme Burnt Down is the debut album from My
Kappa Roots. Brilliant, brittle and breathtaking are just some
of the words that can be used to describe the startling debut
from the Scottish songwriter. Sad folk songs emerge from a
pastoral landscape of sound, serving as a soundtrack to
forgotten youth. Sure to appeal to even the most disaffected
part of us all. The House of St. Colme Burnt Down, named after
an old house he used to play around with his childhood mates,
spans the stark breach between the music of Arab Strap and
Nick Drake.
