The hotly-tipped debut of a new new-folk outfit masterminded by protean drummer Alex Neilson, one of the UK’s leading young improvisers. From the ashes of Scatter, a Glasgow-based collective which long anticipated the free-folk phenomenon, emerges a new song-based venture, Trembling Bells. After apprenticeships with some uniquely talented songwriters (Bonnie Prince Billy, Current 93, Alasdair Roberts, Baby Dee amongst them) Neilson sets out with the group to reanimate the hidden, mythic landscapes of Yorkshire and Glasgow via a love of canonical rock, Earlie Musik and traditional folk.
