Eliza Carthy pays tribute to Martin Carthy on her new single ‘Mr Sits in the Dark’, out today on Hem-Hem Records and accompanied by a video created by Marry Waterson. Her new album, Frenemies, will follow in the Autumn, featuring special guests, including Jools Holland, Robyn Hitchcock, Miranda Richardson, and more, with a special album launch party at Dingwalls on October 22nd.
KLOF No. 91 gathers fourteen tracks from albums we’ve been reviewing: Kevin Coleman’s “K.C. Blues”, Dan Haywood and Harvey Lord’s “Ten Signs”, Creekbed Carter Hogan’s “Peasants Revolt”, Cinder Well’s “A Blooming Body” and Nick Granata’s debut “My Heart is Running Backwards!…”. Martin Carthy returns from the “Along The Road Forever” boxset, live at Sidmouth in 1978, plus The Modern Folk, Andrew Weathers, Tucker Zimmerman and Stella Kola.
Creekbed Carter Hogan’s “Peasants Revolt” acknowledges the possibility of an imminent apocalypse but is steeped in medieval uprisings, the Haitian Revolution, twenty-first-century trans activism and Americana. The songs are exuberant in their difference, and it’s the sudden shifts to or from the personal that make it such a unique album. A detailed American pastoral, beautiful and powerful.
