WOLF PEOPLE - VINYL FAIN [VINYL]

Popis - FAIN [VINYL]:
Recorded in a beautiful and isolated house in the Yorkshire Dales, 'Fain' is the sound of a band at the peak of their creative powers. It's an honest and natural album that allows its stories, its melodies, its themes and structures to breathe. The album draws on more traditional English and Scottish folk melodies than anything WOLF PEOPLE have done before, but not straying from the drop-out fuzz-rock route they've made their own, the influences are vast - British rock bands like GROUNDHOGS, DARK, MIGHTY BABY and PETER GREEN'S FLEETWOOD MAC are evident in the swirling and distorted guitars throughout Fain, along with the 60s revival folk of FAIRPORT CONVENTION, NIC JONES, and TREES. Additionally they have looked towards Scandinavian's rich psychedelic tradition both new and old - you can hear the likes of MECKI MARK MEN, MIKAEL RAMEL and contemporaries DUNGEN. You can even hear the band's teenage forays into Hip-Hop in the drums of 'Thief' and 'Athol'. It rained constantly throughout the recording process and the house was so packed with gear and recording equipment the band were forced to sleep in tents and caravans parked outside. Whilst performing, they could look out into the vast countryside and catch sight of buzzards, hares, curlews and hundreds upon hundreds of crows and gulls. The fire was on permanently, overnight and throughout the day. A serene experience that informs every track on the album. It was mixed and finished in the equally rainy London, with additional performances from Olivia Chaney on piano and backing vocals, plus Nic Kearey and Rachel Davies of STICK IN THE WHEEL and VARIOUS (XL). Jace Lasek (BESNARD LAKES) recorded backing vocals in Vancouver remotely for 'All Returns'. As evidenced by the first single 'All Returns', 'Fain' is more lyrically focused than anything WOLF PEOPLE have previously recorded.
