Following an invite to the Bodleian Library by Sound UK Arts, the disposable song sheets (that would’ve once sold for pence, and were the forerunners of modern news media) gave a rare insight into the past whilst striking a chord with themes still\u003cbr\u003erelevant today. Celebrated film composer and multi-instrumentalist Gerry Diver helped in their exploration as a producer, and in adding fresh ideas to these past texts.\u003cbr\u003e Across the album, anecdotal, descriptive yarns are spun to a backdrop of atmospheric strings, rustic  instrumentation and elegant vocal harmonies, used precisely to communicate the victims as easily as they do the villains. The result is a compelling and thoroughly enjoyable balance between the traditional and contemporary. \u003cbr\u003e LP pressed on blue coloured double vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklisting\u003cbr\u003eTen Tongues\u003cbr\u003eDaring Highwayman\u003cbr\u003eThe Devil’s Cruelty\u003cbr\u003eLaying The Ghost\u003cbr\u003eBirds of Harmony\u003cbr\u003eHemp \u0026amp; Flax\u003cbr\u003eSomething To Love Me\u003cbr\u003eMeat For Worms\u003cbr\u003eThe Troubles Of This World\u003cbr\u003eRare Receipts\u003cbr\u003eBe Kind To Each Other\u003cbr\u003eCruel Mother\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"One Little Independent Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42337298317468,"sku":"TPLP1690CD","price":10.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/1_e3b7d888-6946-42f2-b94a-61bea6c64b31.jpg?v=1676059779","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/hack-poets-guild-blackletter-garland-cd","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
