A Tiny Window - First Jams With Phil Self (2011)




/Alt-folk, New Weird Britain, Psych-folk, Improvised music, Live session/

Comment: this is a nice bundle of 4 tracks coming out from England. A Tiny Window is Matthew Watkins who is being known from Exeter-based experimental/free/space folk crew Children of The Drone. This time he collaborates with Kent-based Phil Self (from the folk and roots music combo Cocos Lovers). The duo improvises on such instruments as mandolin, baglama, and saz resulting in a bit melancholic but spellbinding, transcendent progressions of string conjured chords. It makes the listener feel a little bit dizzy and hazy. Of course, all those who have enjoyed vast discography by Children Of The Drone and its offshoots may have a hunch what to expect from it.
