Modern English Folklore Vol.1: Hackney

by drcarlsonalbion and the Hackney Lass

supported by

John Cratchley One of Dylan's early forays into the world of Albion (of which he is knowledgeable and informed)...he's an Anglofile apparently...some great Carlson 'guitaristry' and the Hackney Lass adds a layer of mystery...a curio, in the best sense.

‘Modern English Folklore Vol.1: Hackney’ is the second release in the ongoing drcarlsonalbion project, begun by Dylan Carlson of Earth. It reflects his longstanding interest in the occult folklore and history of the United Kingdom and his abiding love for all things British.

The first release, ‘Edward Kelley’s Blues’ b/w ‘Drunk on Angelspeech’ for cassette-only label The Tapeworm, comprised spectral environmental recordings from the area around Waterloo Station, a former haunt of magicians and alchemists in the early modern era, and the site of one of Dylan’s own encounters with ‘spiritual creatures’. That release focused on Dr John Dee and, more importantly, his much-maligned scryer/medium, Edward Kelley. This second instalment uses ancient myth and occult lore, updated to the present-day Borough of Hackney in London’s East End.

This is a double 7” on The Wormhole, a byproduct of The Tapeworm. Catalogued as WHO#01. The second disc features instrumental tracks. Also available as a DRC digital download featuring two remixes exclusive to this format. “England, oh, perfidious England, as the ramparts of its seas were inaccessible to the Romans, there also the faith of Christ is kept at bay.”

Full Upon Her Burning Lips

I was able to see Earth the night before I added this to my wishlist, and was just floored by the soaring, crystalline, jangly Western tone that Dylan accomplishes. Every note blooms with color. He has now been entered into my Pantheon of Tone Idols. But it takes two to tango, and Adrienne is truly the foundation of the foundation on those beautiful, swaying, contemplative, wave-like drums, holding us down to the shifting of stones over eons. No one else sounds like Earth. pinkytheent
