Alive & Well At The Muckle Roe Hall

pumpkinbrain I'm having an incredibly hard time describing this record, because all amazing works of art don't fit neatly inside a box. This intimate set by the sea in a cozy and historic venue is frenetic, playful, meditative, raucous, deeply melodic, exhilarating, and deserves to be heard by the masses. Imagining these sounds echoing across the vast, watery abyss that surrounds the Shetland Islands provides a truly haunting mystique for a truly otherworldly set. Favorite track: Flit.

about

Recorded live in a tiny wooden public hall in the Shetland Islands surrounded by sheep, cliffs and hundreds of miles of water between us and anything else. This album is the culmination of the music presented by the Norman Willmore Quartet which is a blend of Scandinavian and Appalachian folk music with elements of modal and free jazz.

Simply the best thing I've heard all year. Saw Fergus at Shambala festival play in Corto.Alto and he's the best pianist I've ever seen. justwatoo
