Breakfield - Breakfield - VINYL LP

Originally issued on Decca's Deram imprint in 1970, Bill Fay's debut album is a soulful and introspective folk-rock masterpiece - With it's warm, rich arrangements and heartfelt lyrics, it showcases Fay's poetic storytelling and enduring from-the-heart emotion. This 180gm vinyl re-issue replicates the original UK stereo pressing. Produced by Peter Eden and orchestrated by Michael Gibbs, Bill Fay's debut album is often stately, frequently poignant, and unfalteringly catchy. Fay's voice, a tentative mix of purity and knowhow is framed by high-period Decca arrangements, full of celestial strings and flourishing horns. The dressing does not take away from the immediacy of the material; a wistful eye cast across post-war Britain, removed from the cliches of the swinging sixties. Here as a hymnal full of kinship, family, encouragement and strangeness. For example, The Sun Is Bored the sun is bored, and the moon wants to get away to another place. Sing Us One Of Your Songs May while inventing The Streets 30 years before Mike Skinner appeared is a sweetly powerful rumination on grief. Methane River conflates pollution of water with a closed mind. Gentle Willie explores the complexities of pacifism; Be Not So Fearful championed by Jeff Tweedy is an aural equivalent of an arm around the shoulder. These are NOT moon-June-love ditties. Comparisons have been made to Nick Drake, but there is also Peter Sarstedt, Gilbert O'Sullivan and Brian Protheroe at play here. Original copies of Bill Fay change hands for three figure sums. For once, you can understand the price tag this a remarkably accomplished debut. Album Tracks 1. Garden Song 2. The Sun Is Bored 3. We Want You to Stay 4. Narrow Way 5. We Have Laid Here 6.

On April 3, 2020 acclaimed folk-rock quartet Parsonsfield will their highly anticipated fifth , Happy Hour On The Floor on Signature Sounds. Produced by multi-instrumentalist Benjamin Lazar Davis (Joan As A Police Woman, Okkervil River), Happy Hour On The Floor was recorded in a small barn over three weeks. It is both subdued and danceable, exploring the in-between moments in life. Chris Freeman reflects, InchWe took some time off the road to analyze where we've been over the last five years of touring. We made ourselves fresh again, but with a whole new depth of experience in our pockets. We tracked almost the whole album on one microphone, one instrument at a time. We didn't see ourselves as a folk band, an indie band or by any other tag. In a bigger sense, this album is a story diving deep into ourselves and leaning on each other.Inch1. Paper Floor2.
