Even if you were once on our local music circuit but you’ve escaped the wilds of Wiltshire, you are always welcome here! It was lovely to hear from Sally Dobson last week, as she dropped us a message to show off her new project Foxbaroque, and the EP stemmed from it, Calamity Jane……

Once a stalwart acoustic soloist of our local circuit, staying in Pewsey at the time, Sally gave us a broad gothic angle, yet always with a cheery outlook personally. Foxbaroque continues in the vein of her previous solo songs under the alias Salamander, and of that as the electronica goth duo Strange Tales. In fact, one of the three tunes, No Wrong, is already on our last 4 Julia’s House compilation, which you can grab here; wow, told you we had exclusives!

Calamity Jane flows expressively, like Kate Bush meets Siouxsie Sioux, and it’s produced by Curtis Simmons, released through Satellite Kid Records, with drum and percussion from Romain Delettre. Twelve minutes well spent, Foxbaroque is a unique sound swirling of post-punk progression, ardent hooks and expressive and sincere.
