Post Description

Over hun vorige album was ik ook al lyrisch, nu weer, en hoe. Schitterende, soms experimentele, folk. Een lust voor het oor.

Something about Burd Ellen’s eerie take on drone-heavy, experimental folk is uniquely suited to the crepuscular nooks of the year, the times of seasonal change when the cast of a landscape changes almost imperceptibly or the quality of light shifts ever so slightly. In 2020 the duo – Debbie Armour and Gayle Brogan – released their second album, Says the Never Beyond, which dealt exclusively with the chilly charms of winter. Its follow-up, A Tarot Of The Green Wood, is wider in scope and more unconventional in theme but still manages to convey the slow passage of time and the weird weight of the history of these isles.

There are countless different tarot decks in existence, and each has its own mythology, its own way of being interpreted or resisting interpretation, so much so that divination could be described as a form of artistic expression, one with deep historical roots and complex layers of meaning. A Tarot Of The Green Wood adds to that artistic tradition in a unique way, exploring shared archetypal imagery in a successful attempt to tread entirely new ground. It is a suitably bewitching, disconcerting and often profoundly moving experience from the most innovative duo in folk music.
