Viola, harmonium \u0026amp; recorders bring lost sounds – the deathly percussive march of 'A Tragedy In The Tithe Barn', ballad themes of departure in 'The Bells of St. Agnes'. Cotton's music searches a past of stillness \u0026amp; desolation but where Nico's is an icy tundra, Cotton's viola and choral layers hold earthy, distinctly English experimental resonances with early music modalities. It's mournful, yes, but with contemplative spaces of light \u0026amp; renewal.\u003cbr\u003eOriginal cassette release on Bloxham Tapes and limited vinyl by Cardinal Fuzz sold out instantly with little press.
