The Owl Service’s Garland of Song was released only five years ago, but the now disbanded group’s influence on the acid-folk revival means an expanded reissue is already in order.
Fecund early seventies Trees and Fairport albums, and the soundtracks of contemporary pagan-themed TV and cinema, are romantically re-pointed in darkened glades lit by icy electric lead guitar and phosphorescent drones.
Light on the clog dancing, and heavy on the psilocybins, Garland Sessions is a vivid re-imagining of the finest moments of the early British folk rock movement.
