Veedon Fleece

A pastoral, stream-of-consciousness masterpiece recorded in the Irish countryside. Murky acoustic arrangements, jazz-inflected flute, and deeply inward vocal improvisations.

It’s like taking a long, foggy walk through the Irish countryside with a poet who’s talking to himself.

A deeply insular and hauntingly beautiful meditation on landscape and memory.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The nine-minute hypnotic sprawl of track 5 where the flute and strings weave around a repeated search for the Veedon Fleece.

The startling shift into a high, fragile falsetto on Who Was That Masked Man that feels like a ghost in the room.

The sudden burst of rhythmic energy and bluesy grit in Bulbs that momentarily breaks the album's pastoral spell.
