The Water is the Shovel of the Shore

One of my favourite albums of 2022. The rich mixture of traditional musics with field recordings and experimentation fit hand in glove. With its long form passages, there is a beautiful surprise around every corner as the music wends its way along its watery course.

Been listening to the album all morning. The whole thing is fantastic, but at the moment I keep coming back to godless/doglegs. This music is coming from somewhere else.

Bright and skipping songs that foreground the sound of the banjo and fingerstyle guitar in music that feels timeless.
