'Songs from the Haunted South', the debut album from Old Fire (feat. John Mark Lapham of The Earlies & The Late Cord) is OUT NOW on Kscope.

The pet project of Texas based programmer John Mark Lapham, - of ‘The Earlies’ and 4AD band ‘The Late Cord’ fame - Old Fire joins a world-class roster that includes the likes of Steven Wilson, The Pineapple Thief, Anathema, Nordic Giants and The Anchoress.

Taking nearly a decade to make, 'Songs from the Haunted South' has been a labour of love for Lapham.

Born from an album concept for a 4AD project with singer Micah P. Hinson (The Late Cord), the album was originally intended to feature different singers and musicians recording songs that were both covers and originals. After parting ways with Micah, Lapham remained determined to realize his vision for the album and sought voices he considered special or fitted the inspiration.

The first piece of the puzzle fell in to place after meeting the former owner of 4AD, Ivo Watts Russell, who introduced Lapham to singer/songwriter, Tom Rapp - who recorded a string of haunting albums in the late 60s and 70s under the name Pearls Before Swine. The vocals Rapp provided formed the basis of the track Shadows. In the following years, guest vocals were recorded by Sara Lowes (The Earlies), DM Stith, Christopher Barnes (Gem Club), Rebekka Karijord, and Alex Maas (Black Angels). 

The project also features a myriad of exceptional musicians  including DM Stith - piano and guitar, Christopher Barnes (Gem Club) - Piano, Warren Defever (His Name Is Alive) - Guitar, Thor Harris (Swans) - Drums, Christian Madden - Rhodes piano & Organ and Semay Wu -Cello.

The 13 track album contains a selection of songs that in one way or another are dedications to people, some dead and some still living. Musically, inspirations range from ambient artists such as Brian Eno and Stars of the Lid to Psychedelic Rock, traditional Country and early 4AD.  

Sitting alongside the original Old Fire compositions are a selection of intriguing cover versions. Lapham uniquely interprets songs by Psychic TV (The Orchids),  Low (Laser Beam), Ian William Craig (A Sight Grip, A Gentle Hold), Jason Molina (It’s Easier Now), Camberwell Now (Know How) and Shearwater (Helix).

'Songs from The Haunted South' was produced by John Mark Lapham, mixed by JM Lapham and Mark Kuykendall, and was mastered by Ian Hawgood.

The powerful cover art was designed by UK’s Grammy Award winning designer Vaughan Oliver, famed for his work with artists such as Mojave 3, Lush, Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance, The Breeders, This Mortal Coil, Pixies, Throwing Muses, in addition to artists such as David Sylvian and Bush.

The cover shot taken in 1958 features Lapham’s father during bivouac camping basic training in the foothills of the Ozarks, at Fort Chaffee.

Join about Once Apart
"Once Apart describes the state of being separated from one another. It´s not necessarily a place where you lose connection, it can even be something that gets you closer and everything you feel is floating, growing and waiting to become concrete again. The absence of the physical makes room for an inner connection. „My eyes are filled with your space“ is probably the main statement, meaning that once we´re apart we become one. „Once Apart“ has never been performed live on stage - I don´t know why, but it has always been a song that I just kept playing on the piano for myself. I think that it would particularly demand more of my emotional AND technical focus on stage and I didn´t feel ready for it until now. The song has evolved over the last 3 years and I´m glad it has found its way onto the record."
