Following on from the <i><a href="http://belburyparishmagazine.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/other-voices-03-and-04.html" target="_blank">Other Voices 03</a></i> single in 2015, this is an album that perfectly melds blissful pop with more exploratory electronics, its roots lying in the artists' shared love of soundtracks and electronic library music of the 70s and 80s. It should appeal to fans of both bands.<br />

<div style="color: #333333;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Pye Corner Audio's Stasis was a runaway success and the vinyl version sold out on the day of release. We are re-pressing this but vinyl lead times mean that it won't be available until November. It'll be a small run available exclusively from the Ghost Box shop. It'll be sold first come first serve with no pre-orders so watch here, sign up for our newsletter or follow our Facebook page for news on this.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div>
<div style="color: #333333;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Until then we'd urge you not to pay the artificially inflated second hand prices. The CD is still available <a data-mce-href="https://ghostbox.greedbag.com/buy/stasis-3/" href="https://ghostbox.greedbag.com/buy/stasis-3/" target="_blank">here</a> and in better record stores worldwide. </span></div>

<br />
Most of the LP copies have already sold in pre-orders and we expect the remaining few in stock to sell out very quickly so please hurry if you want vinyl.<br />

Available today in the <b><a href="https://ghostbox.greedbag.com/dept/~ghost-box-guests/" target="_blank">Ghost Box guest shop</a></b>, this remarkable collaborative LP by <a href="http://www.alasdairroberts.com/" target="_blank"><b>Alasdair Roberts</b></a> and James Green (of <a href="http://www.big-eyes.co.uk/" target="_blank"><b>Big Eyes Family Players</b></a> ), on Clay Pipe Records. The passionate syncretism of Roberts' own songs and those he selects coupled with Green's varied and unusual instrumentation, is at times reminiscent of The Incredible String band. But rather than the fey and whimsical there's a more visceral variety of mysticism at work here. This is a thing of rare and uplifting beauty.<br />

Alasdair Roberts explains how <i>Plaint of Lapwing</i> came about:</div>
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 18.48px;" />
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 18.48px;">Mayday 2012: an email from James Green in Sheffield reached me in Glasgow. I knew James a little – not particularly well; we had met a few times over the years and had collaborated a little too (I'd sung on a couple of songs on the album Folk Songs 2 by his group The Big Eyes Family Players). I understood that he played the harmoniflute, an instrument somewhere between a harmonium and an accordion, and seemed very enamoured of it. His email read: “had an idea about approaching you with... an ep or few songs (trad or otherwise) accompanied by my harmoniflute, and nothing else... just an idea once the dust has settled, maybe...”</span></span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></i><i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 18.48px;">The dust was not long in the swirling before coming to rest upon both of our past endeavours, and shortly we set to work on the project which became Plaint of Lapwing. My initial thought was to concentrate on just four pieces – I'd just recorded the Drag City LP/CD A Wonder Working Stone and had some songs left over from that. In a process which James was later to characterise as 'surreal', I started emailing him recordings of my disembodied voice; in response I would eagerly await, tracks featuring aforesaid voice with James' harmoniflute accompaniment.</span></span></i><i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></i><i><br /></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 18.48px;">The project gradually, almost imperceptibly, developed in scope and complexity over two years. I began sending James more vocal takes as well as other sonics I'd generated, for a variety of original compositions and some by other authors (including a song by the Perthshire folklorist Hamish Henderson, an arrangement by Benjamin Britten of a piece by the Irish poet Thomas Moore, a lyric by beekeeping Cornish film maker Timothy Neat and a setting of a work by the Angus poet Violet Jacob). James in turn increased his instrumental palette to include drums, guitars and all other kinds of musical things.</span></span></i><br />

<br />
Once again both are ultra <b>limited hand </b>made items. Here's what <b>A Year in the Country</b> have to say...<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 25.92px;"><i>Fractures is a gathering of studies and explorations that take as their starting point the year 1973; a time when there appeared to be a schism in the fabric of things, a period of political, social, economic and industrial turmoil, when 1960s utopian ideals seemed to corrupt and turn inwards.</i></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 25.92px;"><i><br />
</i></span></span> <span style="color: #333333;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 25.92px;"><i>As a reaction to such, this was a possible high water mark of the experimentations of psych/acid folk, expressions of eldritch undertones in the land via what has become known in part as folk horror and an accompanying yearning to return to an imagined pastoral idyll.</i></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 25.92px;"><i><br />
</i></span></span> <span style="color: #333333;"><span style="background-color: white;"><i><span style="line-height: 25.92px;">Looking back, culture, television broadcasts and film from this time often seem imbued with a strange, otherly grittiness; to capture a sense of dissolution in relation to what was to become post-industrial Western culture and ways of living.</span></i></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 25.92px;"><i><br />
</i></span></span> <span style="color: #333333;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 25.92px;"><i>Such transmissions and signals viewed now can seem to belong to a time far removed and distant from our own; the past not just as a foreign country but almost as a parallel universe that is difficult to imagine as once being our own lands and world.</i></span></span></div>

Due on 27th May and available to pre-order in the <a href="https://ghostbox.greedbag.com/buy/new-ways-out-0/" target="_blank"><b>Ghost Box shop</b></a> now. The new album from Belbury Poly melds krautrock, glam, faux folk and ancient TV soundtracks across eleven joyous, slightly camp and oddly unsettling instrumentals. Moving away somewhat from the haunted electronics and occult signifiers of his earlier albums, Jim Jupp convenes his floating ensemble of session musicians to continue the exploration and illustration of their parallel world landscape. Including a guest appearance from The Advisory Circle's Jon Brooks on piano on <i>The Green Scene</i>.<br />

<br />
Both are ultra <b>limited to only 52 copies</b> and here's what <b>A Year in the Country</b> say...<br />
<br />
<i>The Quietened Village is a study of and reflection on the lost, disappeared and once were homes and hamlets that have wandered off the maps or that have become shells of their former lives and times.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><i>Inspired in part by images of sections of abandoned, submerged villages and the spires of their places of worship re-appearing from the surfaces of reservoirs and lakes, alongside thoughts of dwellings that have succumbed to the natural erosion of the coastline and have slowly tumbled into the sea.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i> <i>Some of the once were and lost villages which were seedlings for this body of work still stand but their populations are no more, those who lived there evicted at short notice and never to return so that their homes and hearths could be used as training grounds for those who would fight during great conflicts between nations.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i> <i>Such points of reference have been intertwined with possibly more bodeful reasons for this stilling and ending; thoughts of Midwich Cuckoos-esque fictions or dystopic tales told and transmitted in times gone by and imagined/re-imagined in amongst the strands of The Quietened Village.</i></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The vibe is mannered psych-folk embellished with simmering electronics, recalling Super Furry Animals at their most reflective on "Patterns Somewhere". here and there, meanwhile they abandon the song: the gorgeous "Luftglider", in particular, imagining Klaus Schulze transported to a rural English idyll.<br /><b><span class="caps">UNCUT</span><br />May 2016</b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Someone’s needed to do an album like this for a long time. Electronic but also multi-instrumentally organic in the way that a hook-up between Popol Vuh or Ash Ra Tempel and acid-folk dons The Incredible String Band might be if both those acts were current; but then washed with a poised, contemporary sheen of interpretive, skilfully referenced analogue futurism.<br /><b>Electronic Sound<br />April 2016</b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 19.6px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Its the first LP from Hintermass following their Study Series single for Ghost Box in 2011. The duo comprises Jon Brooks (<b>The Advisory Circle</b>) and Tim Felton (of <b>Seeland</b> and formerly Broadcast) who </span></span><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="line-height: 19.6px;">come together with an elegantly crafted pastoral pop album. Brooks beautiful production complements Felton's rich vocal perfectly. Catchy songs with electronic and <span style="font-family: inherit;">folk sensibilities are balanced by expertly handled abstract sketches and instrumental pieces.</span></span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px;">Both artists cite the kosmiche music of Ash-ra and Popul Vuh and their simultaneous re-discovery of the music of Nico as strong influences on the album. The songs also have clear roots in both traditional and psychedelic folk.</span><br />

Available in the <a href="https://ghostbox.greedbag.com/dept/~ghost-box-guests/" target="_blank"><b>Ghost Box Guest Shop</b></a> now. <i>Creaking Haze</i> by <b>Assembled Mind</b>s (CD). Its the work of Matt Saunders, formerly one half of <a href="http://www.4ad.com/artists/magntophone" target="_blank"><b>Magnétophone</b></a> (4AD). Its a brilliant distillation of lost nights out and the ghosts of dead raves. Like the sounds in your head the day after, when you're vainly attempting to sleep, but the rhythm won't stop.<br />
<br />
This is the debut on Saunders' own label, <b><a href="http://patternedair.com/" target="_blank">Patterned Air</a></b>, which we understand has some exciting releases ahead. So make sure you take then opportunity to grab AIR-001 while you can.<br />

Over the holiday period we managed to secure the last few copies of the majestically beautiful new album from master tape manipulators, <b><a href="http://robinthefog.com/howlround/" target="_blank">Howlround</a>.</b> <i>. </i>We have only <b>15</b> vinyl only copies of <i>Tales From the Black Tangle </i>in the shop and they're expected to fly out.<br />

<i>Following a busy summer that has seen them touring with Disintegration Loops legend William Basinski and securing commissions from a Portuguese funeral parlour, a cavernous former reservoir beneath Copenhagen, The Kensington Olympia and a profile on BBC 6 Music’s The Freakier Zone; tape loop wranglers Robin The Fog and Chris Weaver are delighted to announce the launch of their fourth LP as Howlround. As with previous albums and their increasingly spectacular live performances, this latest work was created entirely by manipulating acoustic recordings on a trio of vintage reel-to-reel tape machines, with all additional effects and artificial reverb strictly forbidden. Distant trains, industrial sirens, foghorns, seawash, ship to shore distress signals, even a BBC microphone cradle in need of some oil all are folded into the duo’s darkest and most eerily compelling work yet.</i><br />
