Someone Like Me

'The Moon' is a mellowed out dream pop tune made for a lounge act in space. The reverb-jangled guitars flow with the rhythm section’s tight bass melody and laid back beat (by guest drummer Dan Allaire of Brian Jonestown Massacre, Darker My Love). The slide guitar and lead-singer Tommy Danbury's baritone vocals tell a melancholy tale of love lost in a dream.

About Folkatron Sessions - 8 musicians, 7 days and 1 experimental folk album from scratch.

‘My Son John’ is an Irish folk song first published in 1876, about the thousands of young Irishmen who became cannon fodder in the Napoleonic Wars. There are many versions of this song, including as a marching song for Irish Volunteers in World War I and a protest song against injured soldiers being cheated out of their benefits. The arrangement interprets this traditional song with a close pairing of string, electric guitar and synth textures. 

Folkatron Sessions is a band formed from the pilot Upcycled Sounds Folkatron residency where folk, jazz and electronic musicians produce and release an experimental folk record over a week. Since this 2017 pilot, the Folkatron residencies have since continued with different musicians, but this first group decided to keep playing together under the name Folkatron Sessions. They met again in 2019 to work on a second release together, Skiver, using the same residency format. An intense week was spent choosing trad tunes and songs, arranging, performing and recording them.The recording and production of each track was led by two musicians from the group . With 4 makeshift recording studios to work from, they created a total of 8 tracks and a live session.

The tunes and songs in Skiver were chosen from collaborations, travels and compositions of each musician. The album explores traditional music from Sweden to Estonia to Ireland, as well as contemporary numbers, some written by band members. As well as music, the group also exchanged techniques, with some learning production and recordings skills for the first time and others pushing their skills to experimental levels, such as using DIY hydrophone mics or recording drums through 50 metres of rubber tubing.

The result is an album with its own unique sound world, refracting trad folk through electronic, jazz, ambient, sound art and prog rock lenses.

Folkatron Sessions - My Son John

'To a Place' is the first single lifted from "Starlings & Crows", the stunning new album by English ambient-pop artist Chloë March. The album sees release on the 23rd of October 2020. 

More on Chloe March here: http://www.hiddenshoal.com/project/chloe-march/

For her fifth album, March drew inspiration from her early childhood in the Warwickshire countryside, nineteenth-century nature poet John Clare, and Lewis Carroll’s fantastical Alice Through the Looking Glass. Throughout the album there’s a palpable sense of wonder at the natural world, shot through with a deep concern for nature’s vulnerability. Starlings & Crows resonates with notions of home on a macro and micro level. 

First single ‘To a Place’ is an elegant waltz built around swooning strings and piano. ‘Landing 1969’ sounds as astral as its subject matter would suggest, pulsing at the same tempo as Buzz Aldrin’s heart-rate as Apollo 11 left earth. ‘Remember That Sky’ is achingly emotive, showcasing March’s innate talent for creating an atmosphere of intimacy without compromising compositional depth. Despite running to a succinct 38 minutes, Starlings & Crows is lush and expansive, while distilled to its crystalline essence.

“The latest album by Chloe March is another heady trip through electro pop... The air is thick with atmosphere throughout and March is a masterful creator of mood… a beautiful sound somewhere between The Blue Nile and David Sylvian” – The Underground of Happiness

Oft compared to singular artists such as Nina Simone, Beth Gibbons and Elizabeth Fraser, Chloë March follows her own independent path, writing, engineering and producing from her home studio in south-east England. Inhabiting musical territory somewhere between art song and folk, dream-pop and electronica, the ambient and the cinematic, March embraces all these influences to create poetic, emotionally charged and intensely atmospheric songs and soundworlds.

The music of Chloe March is available for licensing (film, tv, web and more) via Hidden Shoal.
