| | Props to UKi for the vinyl back in March :) | |
| | | |
| | Bit of a departure for the Old English Spelling bee, embracing | |
| | scenic dubbed-out tapestries described by the label as a cross | |
| | between Burial's sample-strewn claustrophobia and Ennio | |
| | Morricone's spaghetti western scores...* The Olde English | |
| | Spelling Bee label has lit up our week with this incredible debut | |
| | from Forest Swords. Nope, we've never heard of them before | |
| | either, but they're only based down the road in The Wirral so | |
| | we'll send them a thank you message via carrier pigeon or | |
| | something. 'Daggers Path' is a textured patch of personal sonic | |
| | connections infusing outsider drone-folk and lo-fi pop with | |
| | modern r'nb and vintage dub tropes that capture that feeling of | |
| | Grouper jamming with the Velvets down at Tubby's that you forgot | |
| | to remember that time you didn't imagine it. Central figure, M. | |
| | Barnes, cyphers the same soulful impact you'd find in the vocal | |
| | samples of a Burial record for instance, and shades them with a | |
| | widescreen wash of lo-fi colours reminiscent of the inherent | |
| | skyward drama found in his native coastal location, also | |
| | embedding each track in slow-burnt dub basslines and dread guitar | |
| | jangles which echo out across the low-lying landscape for miles | |
| | around. On 'Hoylake Misst' there's even elements of Amon Dⁿⁿl, if | |
| | they'd taken cues from Timbaland beating rhythms with pencils on | |
| | his desk, or on 'Glory Gong' we feel like we're about to be | |
| | dropped into some reggaeton bumper before the all the edges | |
| | dissolve and we're left with ghostly male groans and plaintive | |
| | guitar shimmers while some deft fingers on the desk rubs in | |
| | dubbed out samples and the stodgy-slow bass keeps on heaving. | |
| | It's love at first sight with this album and we reckon you'll | |
| | fall for it too. | |
