about

3rd album from Alan Davidson (Kitchen Cynics) and Gayle Brogan (Pefkin).

Review from Bliss by Kim Harten
BARRETT'S DOTTLED BEAUTY Temple of Fiddes LP/Download (Les Enfants du Paradiddle)
Third album from Barrett's Dottled Beauty, the experimental psychedelic folk duo comprising Alan Davidson (Kitchen Cynics) and Gayle Brogan (Pefkin, Electroscope, Burd Ellen). The album is released as an LP limited to 100 copies with unique hand-collaged covers; a digital download is also available. In Warblers, lilting, thrumming experimental psychedelia with whirring analogue synths and atmospheric use of wah-wah forms the backdrop for beautiful ethereal folk song and evocative spoken word. Parhelion combines an insect-like electronic buzz, the pealing tones of a zither, and gentle piano which has the feel of being played in the distance, to create a woozy, dreamlike atmosphere. The Rookery Has Fallen Silent Now sets a slightly dark-edged folk song to a heady psychedelic mix of rook sounds, bells, acoustic guitar, strings and woodwind. February Sighs its Last is a semi-improvisational piece close to 18 minutes in length, in which several subtle melodies intertwine with each other. Flute is employed to evoke the fluttering and soaring movements of birds, while the recorder melody somehow calls to mind timelapse photography of flowers pushing up through the earth. Gayle's vocals are ethereal and often wordless, adding extra atmosphere to the piece. Final track Rhynie is a traditional folk song set to shimmering psychedelic ambience. A truly beautiful album from a band with a highly original musical approach.

Ghostly violas and droning harmoniums adrift in a fathomless limbo...a somber experience, but strangely comforting, like being wrapped in a warm blanket on a gray autumn afternoon. neu-mann
