really solid rhythms ... makes you want to get up and start dancing

such a rich and engaging soundscape as always ...

Just incredible. One of the best pieces of music I've heard on SC in a while.

Beautiful ! Nice blend of old time and progressive sound !!

This is loads of fun. Very atmospheric. :)

Thanks for the repost today - kind of fits my thoughts today ( Where is my file of "retro-futuristic global old-time" tunes when I really need it ?).

Light Up The Sky

Are you looking for this
Or maybe looking for someone that you’re going to miss 
Late at night in the summer 
Cross eyed kids caught in the lens of someone’s camera
How many times have me met
How many lines are running parallel and never connect 
You spend your life with a stranger 
In another they’ve driven their car into the water 

Believe me, believe in something better than this
Or should we try to put it all back together again
You’re leaving 
What’s leaving but another way to be missed
Or should we try to put the pieces back together again

Someone give me a hit
I need something that will get me out of this quick 
Turned my head just to see you
A Quick kiss a in the hallway by the bedroom 
Everything that we lost 
The clothes we keep out of the suitcase we pack in the dark
I cannot get rid of feeling 
That the beginning will one day meet up with the ending 

Believe me, believe in something better than this
Or should we try to put it all back together again
You’re leaving
What’s leaving but another way to forget
Or should we try to put the pieces back together again

And the cities we lived in 
may turn out just to be places that used to exist 
Before any of this 
Before your idiot kiss
Your future past and present tense

Believe me, Believe in something better than this
Or should we try to put it all back together again
You’re leaving 
What’s leaving but another way to forgive
Or should we try to put the pieces back together again

Stay This Way was not a song intended for me, but after a session with Kevin Hutchens in LA, me in London, I knew that I couldn't let it go. 
A song recorded in the legendary Strongroom Studios, London where the likes of Anne-Marie, Olivia Rodrigo, the Spice Girls have written and recorded, Stay This Way came to life. 
I am thrilled to be embarking on a full UK tour after a sold-out show in London in May post the release of Where Do I Lay All The Love I Have Left dropped.

Stray From the Hive

29 Aerodynamics of Intelligence (Live Spontaneous Jam)

So this started a lot like a few of the other songs Dan and I have done before. Woodscrew and Oldtime thinking come to mind of similar beasts, that began as improvised original tunes. Re-occuring themes with variations along a path across dynamic range and tempo. Building on it is a real pain in the butt, but Dan does a good job learning the changing steps for sure. Martin as well jumped on this beast with Sitar and Shruti box! That certainly extends the range around the gourd makes things a lot more fun. 

Hopefully the expert wordsmith Professor Greenwood will amend or rewrite this introduction when he has a spare moment with the Smith Corona   -Jeff.

Dan sez: Jeff should do less flattering, or I'll blather on even more. Anyhow, the lack of patterns is a refreshing challenge. Jeff's tunes like this strike me as an application of sorts of an American Primitive aesthetic to the banjo, at once a modern contemplation on a technique, a pure evocation of a feeling, and a look backward to a time before the rules of meter and composition and were codified as such. 

The feeling in this case is one of dread suitable of the big old not-a-bird whose name the tune bears. Jeff had already built an ominous percussion section when we started in on it, and Martin and I tried to emphasize that with drones and sound effects and a generally cinematic soundscape. I hear something that falls squarely in line with the developing KGB niche of retro-futuristic global old-time; Jeff's banjo is out front where it belongs the whole time, but there are plenty of other sounds packed in there for the auditory picking. Hopefully you'll be inspired to listen closely and repeatedly and will be rewarded accordingly. Thanks as always for swinging by.

Sounds: Gourd banjo; guitars played with fingers, picks, slides, ebows and digital effects; percussion; sitar; shruti box; ukulele; didgeridoo; kalimba; ngoni; jaw harps; and Korg Monotron and Monotron Delay.

Flight Of The Quetzalcoatlus (with Martin Kirwan)

Rock, Plant & Animal

There lives a humble sound
That renders love and peace
It ripples on the water
And rustles in the trees

We’ll make that sound a yes
We’ll make that sound a yes, yes, yes

Of our beloved earth
As puzzle poem beings
Rock, Plant and Animal
All dream
We’ll bravely open doors
Our shadows softy cooing
My darling, you’ve done the wait, now sing
Your true song

And make that sound a yes
And make that sound a yes, yes, yes
