  • Description

    'A Crows Furore' reaffirms the characteristic simplicity and dense lyricism of R.D Thomas. In this second LP, melodic shades of country-folk serve as the conduit for Thomas's rich existential deliberations and mastery of metaphor.

    The record seems to weave always between immediacy and timelessness, none more so than 'A Postcard From Sicily' a cryptic love-letter and ode to being beautifully misunderstood. The title track 'A Crows Furore' is a multi-sensory portrait of modernity nestled into a laconic arrangement of cello, harp and nylon guitar.

    Musically, a far more collaborative effort, the album was recorded live and unrehearsed in a week with an eclectic group of musicians in a remote studio in West Cornwall. Thomas makes his intentions clear in liner notes, of a record which is as well to be read as heard: 'This album is dedicated to the machine. May we never become you.'
