about

Debut release from Whirlaway. Lo-fi, downer, folk spook. Made at home.

"This E.P. was recorded in summer 2010, Shane played, Marc engineered and I was there to hang out. I provided Shane with smokes and poured the wine. I spent most of the evening outside, listening to the trains. It was one of the sunniest weeks Northern England had seen in a while. Every now and again Marc would join me as he left Shane to work out a chord progression or something. “To Thee”, “An Ocean Refuses” and “Dice and Bones” all sound like everybody has left the room, even the player.

Circular guitar picking with touches of experimentalism and whispered vocals. This isn’t polite folk. It sounds like ghosts. As the evening went on things got hazier. We all picked up instruments and I got to play drums on the thundering improvised fuzz-fuck of “Skin factory”.

In addition to the songs recorded at this session is a track Shane, Alastair and I attempted unsuccessfully to record several times a couple of years back. The sessions lay forgotten until Alastair took another look and managed to salvage this version. His determination and hard work paid off. The track is an ethereal, sombre hymn to loss called “Shudder”. Listening to this record now is like opening a trap door into the earth, a place removed from time and space. Close the door and the sunshine stays outside." - Stephen Benson.
