Fly Tower
Released June 2023 on Redundant Span Records.
The album was recorded live in the Abbeydale Picturehouse Fly Tower, Sheffield- a four storey high room located behind the main theatre room of this iconic former 1920s cinema, which was historically used to hoist scenery. Their music unfurls slowly, with the collective deciding on the direction, much like a murmuration of starlings. The performances were also filmed, which you can watch below. and tapes are available from Redundant Span's shop.
“Flutes intermingle with gently plucked strings, toots of baritone sax float above ripples of percussion, while dreamy vocals coalesce with the distinct and engulfing tones of the hammer dulcimer and the nyckelharpa. It’s remarkably measured and considered music given it is being birthed in real time” - Loud & Quiet
“enthralling, gorgeous, mysterious and mesmerising… immerse yourself in the realm of their magic” - Cast The Dice
“Dislodged from time, fragments of older and folkier traditions seep into contemporary ones in their compositions with seamless grace, ornate patterns ambling through the reverberant space they're enclosed in” - The Quietus
“..astonishingly beautiful. The moods develop organically, and the structures are so clearly defined.” - Twisted Soul Music
