The Joy of Nature. "The Shepherd's Tea at 7" 7" (LSR2)

novemthree. "of my mother’s weary wanderings" CD (LSR4)



SOLD OUT. (If you would like a copy, let me know and I will try to do something for you)



Cloud Temple. "Funeral Dirge Ov Thee Crowe King" CD (LSR5)



Cloud Temple’s new release, “Funeral Dirge Ov Thee Crowe King” is a surrealistic, though very earthy journey into the psych-folk realm. The stark balladry is branded with clash and drone, backwoods finger work, bell and echo. Words like, “the sap drips from the tree trunks”, and “silver dew ‘pon the golden brush that the sunshine burns away” add to the effect of being transported dream-like into an altered state. These psychedelic, organic songs, a style which is reminiscent of Stone Breath, are born of much heart. The beautiful art of the digi-pak adds to this great release. -Chelsea “Blackbird” Robb, of Arrowwood.



Limited to 230, $8 + shipping.



A. Lixivia. "Nous n'etions pas" CD (LSR6)



Hailing from Quebec Canada, Alexandre Huard contributes a blend of medieval to contemporary folk in this debut. Handcrafted jackets.

SOLD OUT.



Green Mistletoe. “Forest Dweller” CD (LSR7)



The life of the lush wooded glades within Green Mistletoe's "Forest Dweller" descend and ascend with exquisite beauty. From the darkly romantic "Stone Ring in Open Glade", the ancient sound of "Igwja Dher (Yggdrasil)" and "Kateri, Lily of the Iroquois", to the deep dirge-like chant in "Mynd Am Dro Yn Goeden (To Go For a Walk in the Woods)", Brian Waters’ lovely brooding voice and gentle melodies seem from another time.a wondrous place. The sounds of water and bird, whistle and guitar weave through the lyrics to make a shimmering work of art. "Forest Dweller" is indeed beautiful, forest folk. -Chelsea “Blackbird” Robb, of Arrowwood.



Limited to 366, $8 + shipping.



Arrowwood/novemthree. split 2x mini CD-R (LSR8)



A review by Jason Pitzl-Waters of A Sweeping Curve of Sound:

I have always been a fan of the more haunted and esoteric side of the new wave of psychedelic folk. More Espers than Devendra Banhart, more British Wyrd Folk than Naturalismo if you catch my drift. So you’ll get a general idea of where I’m coming from when I say I really enjoy the sounds I find on the new split-EP from Novemthree and Arrowwood.

Both projects deal with haunting folk styles, sounds that evoke a sort of timeless atmosphere of poetry and myth. Arrowwood’s contribution weaves an almost ambient haze of melancholic moods, which, lead by vocalist Chelsea Robb (with accompaniment from Pythagumus, Lindsey Hoffman, Josh Lovejoy), transports you to a time when haunting laments were the bread and butter of troubadours everywhere. Meanwhile, Novemthree (spearheaded by Pythagumus) has a sound that evokes memories of the spooky pastoral folk found on The Wicker Man Sountrack (which if you know me, is high praise indeed). Songs that seem ready to turn the wheel of the year and initiate you to deeper mysteries.

The EP is a release on the new Little Somebody Records label, who utilizes unique packaging (two mini-CDs with some marvelous graphic design) to create a treasured collectors item. This is strong and talented work that should perk up the ears of any folk-music enthusiast, even if their tastes don’t run down the same crooked paths mine do. This is music that beckons you towards a dark wood, and you should heed its call.
