Comment: some
examples of Spanish folk music are quite interesting because of
adding something refreshing to the worldwide body of folk music
(Ataque Escampe, Bacanal Intruder, XO,
árbore
& apenino). One of such instances is also Nodding By The Fire who
have issued three releases so far. Their music is instrumental and it
is a dynamic staples as if moving from one slope down to another or
wandering across an immense prairie surrounded by a majestic, a bit
mystical forest on one side. As if the forest could know and feel
more than it seems to a walker. Such acoustic instruments as acoustic
guitars, the percussion, a harmonica, a banjo, a flute, an oboe make
up cinematic, spaghetti western-alike drifts over there at times.
Especially the harmonica gets justified again as an arousing
instrument (as Bob Dylan, and Spiritualized have already proven). A
bit extrinsic (in a more experimental sense) elements to the 9-track
mix are some gentle drones, found sounds and ambient experiments,
however, they resonate well the rest. Similarly to their earlier
issues
The Forest Knows is issued by the group on Bandcamp.
