eldudowski more eldritch vibrations from Shropshire. beautiful and far more unnerving and transporting than the innocuous backstory intimates. I reckon there's some older pagan vibrations coming up from under that old church.

about

Elizabeth Still is an artist, musician, mother and upstanding member of the community. She lives on the border between England and Wales. You may know her from her work as a founding member of the group Haress.
Going For Home is Still’s first solo record and we are incredibly proud to be releasing it on Wrong Speed as a limited-edition LP.

The album began as a series of musical sketches “played at home from a kitchen stool” and recorded into Still’s mobile phone as a form of audio diary “composed and captured with the sounds of the house going on around them and inspired by simple personal domestic moments”.

A conversation with Nick Jonah Davis (solo guitarist extraordinaire and recording engineer for the likes of Jacken Elswyth and C Joynes) led to a plan to record these vignettes in a slightly more concrete form. Having seen Haress perform there, Davis suggested they use Myndtown Church, a 12th century place of worship nestled in the shadow of the Long Mynd in South Shropshire and (we are reliably informed) home to the second oldest bell in the country.

The album was captured over two days with Still and Davis “fielding church visitors and peeing in the fields”. Though these recordings are deliberately more formal than the original mobile phone versions, the sense of the music being site-specific and of a location and moment remains. The harmonium you hear on Sleeping In The Sun is the harmonium in the church, the sense of space a natural reflection of the place it was recorded as opposed to a studio creation. The environment is alive and welcomed as a collaborator.

Still added field recordings “from around home, the garden and everyday walks” to add further colour and life to the music. The results are truly beautiful. The ‘scrapbook’ feel of those original recordings can still be felt but it is as though they’ve been made three-dimensional and alive, the listener accompanying Still on every step of her journey.

I saw Haress support Godspeed in Coventry over the weekend and haven't been able to stop myself thinking about their set. It doesn't surprise me that they turn out to be from Bishop's Castle because this is what the welsh border sounds like. Uncanny, unsettling, beautiful. Wonderful discovery, SteveC
