About Me

Peril Hill - 'Scream At The Jackdaw, Make Him Stop' CDr £6 incl. p&p 'Arcane and surreal bindings of dream like images unwrapping, in the gentlest voice, into plain, epic horror.' (Coke Machine Glow)The Feather Gatherers 7" (J Marshall/S Kraus Duo) £3 incl. p&p 'As swank a pairing of contemporary acoustic sadnesses as you'll find in a month of Mondays. The blend of their voices is like biting into the best pickle you ever ate.' (Byron Coley/The Wire)Singing At The Moon Compilation CD £6 incl. p&p 'Contributions all fall within the parameters of improvised folk or homemade psychedelia, but with a diverse instrumentation and hands-on song craft, Singing At The Moon manages to be always idiosyncratic and occasionally otherwordly.' (Derek Walmsley/The Wire)McWatt CD Album £6 incl. p&p 'McWatt's untitled track on flute, accordian and double bass is a pensive slice of chamber folk that unfolds with the grace and weight of a Gavin Bryars piece.'
