Human Morphology

Wild Medicine is a podcast series that raises the listeners' attention to the natural world around them.  Each episode is designed to be a sonically soothing, music-driven ride through a different town or city around the UK.  We lull the audience into a sense of peacefulness while heightening sensitivity to their surroundings and expanding awareness of the flora, fauna, rivers and wild places that are often ignored or overlooked in urban areas.  Wild Medicine is a podcast that has a unique style.  Ambient, electronic and organic musical textures, site specific field recordings and a rich variety of spoken word to illustrate our environmental theme, from stories and drama, to interviews and poetry.  We mix them all up into a heady, lyrical brew of 'slow radio' that acts as an antidote to the attention deficit culture our mainstream has become.  We aim to reach a broader audience than traditional nature programmes with non linear content that is informative, entertaining and constantly evolving.  It's an 'easy' listen with a serious message about the importance of our connection with nature to our mental wellbeing.  Wild Medicine unravels the beauty, power and magic of the natural world.

Huw Costin 'Something/Nothing' - Released 10th June on SpecialSoundUnit

"Huw Costin makes classic records with an attention to detail not often heard anymore - achingly beautiful, direct and gentle poetry" - Mark Lanegan

"…a modern-day Roy Harper" - Mojo

"A dizzying swirl of grandiose chamber pop, tragi-comic folk and doom balladry..." - Uncut

It doesn’t take Huw Costin and his second solo album, ‘Something/Nothing’, long to get to the heart of the matter. Less than 45 seconds, in fact. Amidst grand orchestral sweeps and cannon shots of brass, the Nottingham based singer, songwriter and producer delivers the killer line: “Yes, I believe that we are doomed”. It’s not the most optimistic opening to an album, but anyone who’s heard Costin’s debut, ‘Regrets’, will know that lyrical transparency and candid sincerity are trademark qualities in his work. 

‘Something/Nothing’ exhibits a true understanding of the ebb and flow of romance, recalling the rush and passion of both love and loneliness and carrying out sometimes painful but always heartfelt post-mortems on now disintegrated relationships.

Musically the album is expansive, eloquent, and honest. From the opening, grandiose strains of ‘Doomed’ to the fragile closing chamber strings of ‘Butterfly Girls’, ‘Something/Nothing’ is far more than a standard singer/songwriter album, having far more in common with some of the artists Costin admire most: Robert Wyatt and Roy Harper, Brian Eno and The Beach Boys, Julian Cope and Joni Mitchell. You can hear them all: in the details his lyrics offer, in the minutiae of his arrangements and harmonies, in the lack of self-consciousness he demonstrates. 

There’s a longing in the delicate slow motion melody of ‘Move To The City’ and there’s comfort in the return to familiar faces and scenes that ‘December’ represents, its acoustic setting triumphantly swollen at the song’s end by brass. The title track is similarly soothing and  ‘Disconnected’ is a sweet, wide-eyed tune that threatens to blow wide open with trombone and e-bow. The album concludes with the short but charming ‘Butterfly Girls’, a plaintive acoustic number.

Costin has worked with both Brian Eno and Mark Lanegan but mostly his musical journey has been a ramble around the more obscure reaches of the indie world. He’s as influenced by folk, country and rock of the 60’s and 70’s as the Nottingham ambient scene of the early 90’s and has been compared to the likes of Big Star, Elbow and Jeff Buckley.

Inspired by Buckley, Cash, Drake, Cope and Kilmister, Costin writes songs for the mystified and heartbroken...

Huw Costin is a British singer-songwriter known for his emotional vocal style, melancholic lyrics, and a penchant for writing nifty pop songs when the mood takes him. He's worked with both Brian Eno and Mark Lanegan, but mostly, his musical journey has been a ramble around the more obscure reaches of the indie world. Known for his output with leftfield disco artists Smith & Mudd as well as rock bands Manatee, The Kull, and Earth The Californian Love Dream, Costin is currently writing and performing with his band Torn Sail, as well as putting the final touches to his second solo album. 

As influenced by the folk, country, and rock of the 60’s and 70’s as the Nottingham ambient scene of the early nineties, Costin has been compared to the likes of Big Star, Ian Brown, Elbow, and Jeff Buckley. 

His debut solo album - Regrets - found it’s way into the NME Yearbook as a top 10 album despite being unfinished and unreleased. The follow-up is just around the corner. 

Praise for Regrets: 

“It’s like the third Big Star album mixed with the Stone Roses… It’ll make you cry.” NME (Yearbook Top 10) 

“an emotive recollection of a love gone wrong” UNCUT ****
