Cornish Wreckers / Lurid Tales Of Wrecking And Repose LP Vinyl

Cornish Wreckers 'Lurid Tales Of Wrecking And Repose' LP Vinyl

This debut album brings you tales from the tough Victorian streets of East End London . . . tales from the Cornish coast and of its ruthless 19thC pirates . . . folk horror . . . tales of ghosts and lights that bewitched sailors on board sea faring vessels made of creaking beams and flapping hemp . . . listen to the nursery-rhyme about a Bedeviled goat that tempts the flesh of the tender and the innocent . . . visualize the psychosis that comes from steering a constant course towards the horizon without respite, without the prospect of ever returning home . . . listen to the inventory of a psychotic killer dragging the old world across the glistening cobbles into a fragrant new century . . . hear the last song hummed by his last victim . . . imbibe the bygone Music Hall playfullness towards death and the daily struggle to pay the rent within the leaning walls of the over crowded parish of Whitechapel . . . listen to stories from a time when darkness writhed around the lamp light . . . and have you heard the news about Mother? Songs inspired by the last assault of Capital on Folklore. The myth of blood into money and money into blood. Surgery, sea faring, rebellion, Jack The Ripper, Mother Earth, witchcraft and the sound of the human voice bending time and space with song.

Enjoy the rich and tremulous guitars and synthesized sounds of Michael Plater. Revel in the basso profondo piano treatments and lyrical vocalizations of Tony Millman. Enjoy the female witch choruses rendered by Andrea Millman, Heather Fiona, Sarah Williams, Melon Mendez and Claire Raine, the soaring sirenades of Paige Duggan and the earth rumbling chants of Lachlan Currie and Dean Lombard. Hear the choral influence of Byrd and Tallis and Taverner and of Punk Rock. Feel the Folk Horror. Submit to the sea. Get wrecked!
