Palimpsest Festival 2006

Self-released by the band in 2008 and re-released by Antigen Records, 2012.

This live set marked the group reconvening after a year of not playing together – yet the music they produced feels tighter then ever and marked with a new purpose. 

Starting with a hushing lullaby, the set creeps into physical guitar/violin set against the snap and crackle of matches and foley snow – both pieces relating to work the band had done on a live soundtrack for Robert Flaherty’s 1922 film ‘Nanook of the North’.  A ramshackle hoedown follows, all crossing rhythms and joyous intent.  The last piece utilises clockchime gamelan, kettle drum and scorching improv fiddle.

Track listing: Lullaby, The Sentinel, Cantankerous, Mazurka.
