The Heart Of A Soulless Man

This is an ancient story told on Puget Sound -- how Raven helped to bring the Sun, Moon, Stars, Fresh Water, and Fire to the world.

Near the beginning of the world, Gray Eagle was the guardian of the sun and moon and stars, of fresh water, and of fire. Gray Eagle hated people so much that he kept these things hidden. People lived in darkness, without fire and without fresh water.
Gray Eagle had a beautiful daughter, and Raven fell in love with her. At that time Raven was a young man. He changed himself into a snow-white bird to please Gray Eagles daughter. She invited him to her fathers house.
When Raven saw the sun and the moon and the stars and fresh water hanging on the sides of the lodge, he knew what he should do. He stole all of them, and a brand of fire also, and flew out of the house.
He hung the sun up in the sky. It made so much light that he was able to fly far out to an island in the middle of the ocean. When the sun set, he fastened the moon up in the sky and hung the stars around. By this light he kept on flying, carrying with him the fresh water and the brand of fire.
He flew over the land and dropped all the water he had stolen. It fell to the ground and became the source of all the fresh-water streams and lakes.
Then Raven flew on, holding the brand of fire in his bill. The smoke from the fire blew back over his white feathers and made them black. When his bill began to burn, he had to drop the firebrand. It struck rocks and went into the stone. That is why, if you strike stones together, fire will drop out.
Ravens feathers never became white again after they were blackened by the smoke from the firebrand. 

Born on a river, raised by a river... Ladies and Gentlemen, we are proud to present to you today Smoke Feathers -- alt. explorers of noise and harmony. Sunshine revolutionaries all...

Exmouth, Devon based multi-instrumentalist and singer/songwriter Pete Falloon launched his debut album Reed In The River on 25 November,  with  three full performances of the album in Tunbridge Wells, London and Exeter, with a full live band. This follows support slots with Britpop band Dodgy, and UK funk heroes The Blockheads, and a live session with BBC Introducing In Devon. The album is now available to stream and download on digital channels (iTunes, Amazon, Tidal, Deezer, Spotify etc) and as a limited edition gatefold CD from his bandcamp site. 
 
The first two singles from the new LP, Reasons, and the title track Reed In The River have received very positive reviews and widespread radio play from the UK, USA, Netherlands and Canada. 

Similar to the self-styled Paisley Overground movement pioneered by bands such as Co-pilgrim and The Dreaming Spires, Pete's music draws a line through many of the classic folk/pop acts of the psychedelic era such as Simon & Garfunkel, The Byrds and James Taylor, to modern greats such as R.E.M., The Stone Roses as well as taking in influence from more contemporary acts such as Canadian Americana band The Barr Brothers. On the subject of the influence of the spectacular, idyllic beauty of the West Country in his music, he says that “the music is definitely influenced by my love for the natural environment, and inspired by living in Devon - the moors, coast, countryside, rivers and skies here are something very special”.  

Reed In The River was produced by Pete’s brother Matthew Falloon, mixed by Tim Wills (Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds/The Cure) and mastered by Pete Maher (Patti Smith/Jack White). Reed In The River was recorded over three four-day sessions at the vintage-equipped, hit factory Vale Studios in Gloucestershire. The band included Pete Falloon on acoustic/electric guitars and mandolin, Matthew Falloon on bass/guitar/mandolin/wurlitzer and Paul Everest on drums/percussion.
