Rachel McCarron and Sean Breadin have already recorded the Pentacle Of Pips album as Venereum Arvum, its abstract drones and dark tones appealing to the sort of neo-folk fans who sell organic vegetables to fund their occult memorabilia collections.
Songs From The Barley Temple is a brighter, more welcoming, proposition. Modal, improvisational techniques, Bredin’s exotic stringed instruments, and McCarron’s pure and unaffected vocal revivify an erudite selection of traditional British songs.
Silver Dagger shines anew. A spritely reading of The House Carpenter dissolves into an abstract pagan fug.
The ideal October album.
