Robin Saville

Although sounding more like the name of a character Shakespeare struck from the script of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" in his final revision, "Peasgood Nonsuch" is actually a variety of apple grown in England (best harvested in October).
Robin Saville's album is so very evocative of rural England, so much and so pleasantly so that it is almost the magically anthropomorphized England of classic children's tales. Imagine if a character in "The Wind in the Willows" had been a composer - this is what he would have written.
It is good-natured and dry-witted, which is evident both in track titles and the light touch brought to the compositions and the playing. Swaying and bubbling electronics are delicately combined with acoustic instruments, usually a guitar. Saville stays low to the ground and conveys the essense of a shift in the breeze or the fragrance of a flower, the smallest and therefore most important elements of the bucolic life.
