Black Grouse and Common Crane

Black Grouse lekking

This has been my nemesis bird. For three years I have been trying to record its song and today it happened. I was out in the forest to set up a hide for the Capercaillie lek in advance (will start in one month's time) when I flushed a hazel grouse. In the recording you will hear the contact call the first minute together with lekking black grouse in the distance. After one minute it starts to sing. In the end of the recording you will hear some kind of sub-song of the hazel grouse. Don't know if this has been recorded before. Other birds in the recording are mistle thrush, skylark, jay, raven, coal tit, crested tit, great tit and more. Älgpussen, Uppland. March 19, 2023.

Hypnotic dub, multi-dimensional soundscapes, delicate progressive builds and still relevant to this day; Liquid Sound Design is pleased to share this digitally re-mastered version of this seminal Dub Trees album!
Some artists and productions simply stand the test of time, DUB TREES is one such artist and this is certainly one of those productions. First released in 2000 as the beginning of Youth’s (Martin Glover) ‘Dub Trees Trilogy’, ‘Nature Never Did Betray the Heart That Loved Her’ still sits in many press and reviewers ‘Best Of’ lists as one of the top ambient/psy-dub albums produced alongside the Mysteries of the Yeti, The Orb and Shpongle. This comes as no surprise as all have intimate connections to Youth’s original Butterfly Studios and were the driving force behind the birth of psy-dub.
Dreamt of and fronted by legendary producer YOUTH, Dub Trees has always been a collaborative project which has seen early Butterfly Studios alumni OTT, Greg Hunter & Simon Posford involved as well as other poignant musicians such as Wadada (Suns of Arqa), Dervesh & more recently Jah Wobble.

A new Dub Trees album is underway and will be released on Liquid Sound Design in 2024.
