Now playing: Starry Mind by PG Six. IMHO, opening track ‘January’ is a textbook example of 21st century folk rock at its most thrilling

Now playing: The Trimdon Grange Explosion’s self titled debut from 2018. A fantastic album, especially their version of the traditional ‘The Bonnie Banks of Fordie’ which is easily in my top five folk-rock songs

Still obsessed with Fen Creatures by @fuzzylightsband.bsky.social - I’ve already played it a ridiculous number of times. Love it when a record grabs you like that

Solidarity with the hunger strikers.
It is an egregious violation for them to be held on remand - without trial or conviction.
All for protesting against a genocide. Shameful.

Turns out they were from the West Midlands and the album was released in 1979…
Just heard about Electric Folk by Blackthorn, an Irish album recorded in 1972 and produced by Dave Pegg and now I really need to hear it

This has sent me down a small rabbit hole - Erik Moggridge aka Aerial Ruins is 1/3 of Stygian Bough - his latest solo album Loss Seeking Flames is gorgeous acid folk - strangely reminiscent of Perry Leopold’s Christian Lucifer

My pal @jacklikesfilms.bsky.social just pointed me in the direction of Stygian Bough and they are *so* good - 12 minute funerial doom/shoegaze/psych epics with strangely angelic vocals.

RIP Martin Parr. Loved his work. I always thought this one would make a brilliant album cover (Pant Shrapnel was a terribly named band that nearly existed)

Still playing Fen Creatures to death. This made me wonder what other bands lurk in my collection who are in a similar vein to @fuzzylightsband.bsky.social? First up, this self-titled behemoth from Meg Baird’s Heron Oblivion.

Heather & Hearth by Phantom Spell has snuck into my albums of the year. Incredibly well-crafted heavy prog, takes me right back to arguments over the 6th form record player in 1981. Old Pendle is straight up folk rock, which should always be encouraged.
