HOG-45-003 Black Doe Hand printed edition sold out.
Imagine a folk Black Sabbath with brass band accompaniment and you’re there. It’s an amazing sound that drags you in without mercy. Mary’s vocals are part sung, part sighed, contrasting with the Sabbs/banjo accompaniment. B-side “Lean” allows a funereal organ to underpin an emotive, almost spiritual vocal. I’ve never heard anything like this. More, please! http://www.terrascope.co.uk
Like a lost 60’s gem that’s just been dusted off after being forgotten about and primed for a new generation of ears. This sounds a little sleazy to me too, in the best possible way. Norman Records.
HOG-45-002 The Saddle Song SOLD OUT This is Mary Epworth and the Jubilee Band’s first ‘proper’ release. On this limited 7″ release, (which contrary Mary describes as “a pub shanty”) she and the band conjure up the presence of phantom Morris dancers, drunken sea-dogs, spectral horses and haunted woods, whilst having enough guts, rust and teeth to steer clear of any fairyland folk-psych whimsy.
“So exuberant in its ragged glory that you would be very hard-hearted indeed if you weren’t moved to smile, to join its rutted rolling procession, its pilgrimage, its parade of smashing cymbals, shivering violins, clamorous voices and a horn section just roused from sleep, but game for the journey to Rome, to Damascus, Samarra, Mecca or simply the end of a cobbled London street.”
HOG-45-01 Jangler Swifteye SOLD OUT The debut release from both Hand Of Glory records and The Outdoor Types. “Think of Nick Cave fronting Fairport Convention. After ten filter coffees” ROUGH TRADE RECORDS “A fun, very British-sounding DIY ethic, an old, dusty house full of valuable things made out of copper and wood. I can definitely hear going places talent here” TOM COX, OBSERVER MUSIC MONTHLY
