The Fernweh "The Fernweh"


https://www.piccadillyrecords.com/counter/product.php?pid=125947

Recorded in seclusion on the North Yorkshire coast and transporting listeners on musical journey. Three friends, Jamie Backhouse (guitars), Ned Crowther (vocals and guitar) and Oz Murphy (keys/saxophone) gathered to make the album they always knew they could make, based on a pure and profound love for a golden era for British and US folk rock. Wringing every last drop of their combined experience into a cup that overflows with melody, song craft and deeply evocative imagery of a quintessentially British era of ‘mainstream psychedelia’, they are joined by Maja Agnevik (vocals/flute) and Phil Murphy (drummer).

Melodies and stories inspired by distinctly British, coal-fired version of 60s/70s psychedelia. Layered vocal harmonies, gentle, steam-train percussion and strokes of piano, acoustic guitars and subtle string arrangements are a feature of this sublime and compelling debut. A return journey into Britain’s explosively creative, post-war period. Arriving back in 2018, the band uses such deeply evocative influences to deliver an irrepressible psych-pop-folk non-genre record.

STAFF COMMENTS
Andy says: No surprise this is released on The Coral's Skeleton Key label as this is a beautiful evocation of hazy Scouseadelia: early 70's UK folk and gentle psyche combined to glorious, otherworldly effect. Lovely stuff.

skeleton key release some great stuff, though not on their label i quite like this
 
Disappointing year for me but the highlight has been Echo & the Buunymen with The Stars the Ocean and the Moon.
A couple of tracks are bit karaoke but others I love. Mac’s reference to the Portuguese twat at the Bridgewater was also amusing.

Quite enjoyed the arctic monkeys going of piste as well.
 
Richard Thompson.... 13 Rivers.

Darkest, most memorable album by Richard in over a decade.

Honorable Mention: Chris - Christine And The Queens, Chris Cornell - Retrospective, Warm - Jeff Tweedy
