guitars, banjos, mandolins, flutes, hitting things with hands (babies are pretty good for that - the random burps are great), keyboards (with long pauses between notes)... in fact it's all about the spaces between the notes, listening to decay and appreciating the inherent beauty.
mostly wavertonian nowadays, them kids are lovely, talented bastards though, glad they don't mind a touch of shambolicism in a doGGG
bless those timbreland fellows one and all, marvellous kiddlywinkles with talent and love in equal measures
OUT NOW! THE WAVERTON COLLECTIVE'S DEBUT E.P. 'WELCOME TO WAVERTONIA'Available at Piccadilly Records & Big Pink in Manchester's Northen Quarter, and some other places too
The Timbreland Recordings compilation "Furthest Branches From the Trunk" is availible now from Piccadilly Records, Rough Trade and Normans Records, as well as online from Boomkat, amongst others.
"A unique blend of folk and electronica and all sorts of traditional sounds, Furthest Branches From The Trunk proves that Manchester still has many threads, many scenes and plenty of fresh new ideas" Manchestermusic.co.uk
"Manchester¹s hottest new label weighs in heavy for their first shot at a compilation, tackling local talent and folky folk from a little further away. The label has quickly established itself as a primary outlet of all things jangly and folky, and now it's eager to assert it's vision slightly wider than people may expect.......the real beauty in this disc though is it's scope and unrelentingly fresh attitude, it's clear the guys behind Timbreland know exactly what they¹re doing and I for one am going to keep a close eye on their progress" Boomkat
A live version of Anna Zweck's 'Dorothy' can be found on 'Red Deer Club Volume 2'. Recorded in the most marvellous Sacred Trinity Church from Sounds From The Other Festival in sunny Salford last year. (The studio version is featured on 'Welcome To Wavertonia')
