Emmaleen Tangleweed ‘The Weaving’ (Tape / Vinyl / Digital)
cruelnaturerecordings.bandcamp.com/album/the-we...
A gothic blues-folk spell drifting between myth, memory, and the underbelly of humanity. Banjo, guitar, and cello carve out stark, cinematic worlds.
Playing a track from this lot on tonight’s AISM show for @thewiremagazine.bsky.social on @resonancefm.bsky.social at 9pm UK time. Tune in 🔊🔊🔊
#JustListened
I saw that @emtangle.bsky.social has an album coming out via @cruelnaturerecs.bsky.social at the end of the month, so I checked out the latest single.
It's gorgeously dark atmospheric Bluegrass/Folk and sounds absolutely wonderful. And what a voice, wow!
Highly, highly recommended!
