New single out today from Swindon-based gothic-folk duo, Canute’s Plastic Army, and it’s three yeses from me…Can one person give three yeses? I’m way past caring….
If you’ve loved the previous single Wild, like me, or caught them gigging, usually in Swindon (but they did grace us with their presence at the Southgate in the spring,) Hollow Children of Men is a seven-minute chronicle from Anish Harrison & Neil Mercer, chock full of enchanting wisps and ethereal acoustic moods. It rises and falls, it’s epic, and if it’s not a magnum opus, I want to be there when they release such a song.
It’s the kind of song which takes you on a journey, through darkened woods, in mist, and leaves you spellbound, unable to leave the forest it drifted you into…. And if that all sounds like whimsical wordplay for the sake of flattery, take a listen for yourself why don’t you?!
