Post Description

Folk, indie folk, nature, singer-songwriter, Sheffield.

Weer zo'n bijzonder mooi album die her mag blijven wonen. Genieten met een groete G. 

Spell Songs is a seven-piece Folk/World band featuring Kris Drever, Julie Fowlis, Seckou Keita, Jim Molyneux, Rachel Newton, Karine Polwart and Beth Porter. Their music is inspired by Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris’ bestselling nature books.

By invite of the authors, Spell Songs’ third studio album. In Thin Air, forms a musical companion piece to Robert and Jackie’s book The Book of Birds - a book that is a love letter to the splendours and mysteries of birdlife, and a clarion call to halt the loss of birds from land, sea and sky.

The music was created within the contemplative green oak roundhouse of Ty Sanctaidd (Sacred House) in the grounds of Ty Trefacwn in South West Wales, and recorded at Castle Sound Studio in Pencaitland, East Lothian. As with our other albums In Thin Air has been recorded and produced by Andy Bell of Hudson Records.

Throughout The Book of Birds there runs a gentle mantra – “Nest, Egg, Beak, Song, Feather, Flight, Migration — these are the Seven Wonders that together conjure the miracle of Bird”. Intrigued by this concept, the seven musicians have created an intricate new album that has an overarching narrative, capturing the remarkable world of birds from birth to flight.

"In Thin Air; is a tremendous and powerful thing, singing bright and fierce right into our contemporary moment". Robert Macfarlane
