This came out in 2023 but I only discovered it recently- not sure why it took me so long as I posted a Justin Robertson remix of a track from the same EP over a year ago. Sewell And The Gong is Matt Sewell, an illustrator, artist, ornithologist and author in his day job who had an acoustic guitar in his studio. Eventually he hooked up with multi- instrumentalist, producer and fellow traveler Chris Tate and began to put some of Matt's folk- inspired guitar parts down on tape and embellish them a little. The result was an EP, Tonight We Fly, beautifully done, psychedelic folk with this track- Better Words- as the fourth of four...
Better Words sounds like something very familiar even on first listening, there's something about the melodies and arrangement that hark back to something deep inside- themes from children's TV in the 70s maybe, some lost folk memory, a fusion of late 60s folk rock and 90s/ 2000s lo fi Balearica. All four tracks are lovely and can be found at Bandcamp.
There's a remix EP with the previously mentioned Justin Robertson Deadstock 33s remix of Passing Oort Clouds too and then on the first of next month a seven track mini- album called Patron Saint Of Elsewhere with a pair of tracks already out including the eight minute Quiet Storm, more wonderful gently psychedelic folk with shimmering guitars, found sounds, FX, hand drums and somewhere deep inside it some voices.
