In The Furrows Of Common Place Jim Ghedi SKU: BR010LP Barcode: 5060168042873 19.00 £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: Basin Rock Released Date: 22nd January 2021 Buying Format: 180g 1LP Includes Download Code Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info “Instead of landscape sketches I wanted to go into more personal areas of my reality,” says Jim Ghedi of his third album In The Furrows Of Common Place. “To hold up certain aspects of society that were laying bare in front of me.” Whilst Ghedi’s previous idiosyncratic take on folk has often been instrumental, exploring the natural world and his relationship to it through his music as seen on 2018’s A Hymn For Ancient Land. His new album In The Furrow Of Common Place is a deeper plunge inside himself to offer up more of his voice to accompany his profoundly unique and moving compositions. “There were things I was seeing around me and being affected by in my daily life,” he says. “Socially and politically I saw defiance but also hopelessness. I wanted to be honest with the frustration and turmoil I was experiencing.” The decision to include more of Ghedi’s vocals was a conscious one and driven by a need to say something. However, this isn’t a brash raging political polemic. As is now customary with Ghedi’s work, it is rich in nuance, history, poetry and allegory. Musically, the album is equally locked into this ongoing sense of evolution. Ghedi’s intricate yet deft guitar playing still twists and flows its way through the core, weaving in and out of gliding double bass, sweeping violin, gentle percussion and vocals that shift from tender solos to overlapping harmonies. As with much of Ghedi’s work, there’s a rich connection between the past and the current. Musically, he continues to sit in a singular position of sounding distinctly contemporary yet also with a touch of traditional flair. This expands itself into the lyrical terrain here too. “I’ve been exploring contemporary issues and in that process discovering sources that correlate with similar issues in the past,” he says. “Which proves that these issues throughout history – environmental destruction, working class poverty etc – are ongoing.” For all the socio-political and historical backdrop to the record it is not one that feels overwhelmed by it. Much like Ghedi’s work when it was largely instrumental – and some of it still is here – it flows and unfurls thoughtfully, with space still being utilised masterfully, creating room to pause and reflect. It’s another inimitable record from an artist that truly sounds like nobody else right now. “Melodically sublime… although Ghedi’s music is infused with tradition, it’s very much experiencing the present” **** MOJO 4/5 The i : “A raga -like texture of tingling drones and jaunty picking” “The melancholy majesty and sense of contemplative awe that permeates much of A Hymn for Ancient Land – which deserves to replicate the recent success of Ghedi’s Basin Rock label mates Nadia Reid and Julie Byrne – really only sound like itself.” 8/10 thelineofbestfit “a brilliant finger-picker and songwriter” 4/5 Q “There’s respect here, but no folkloric nostalgia…..a delightful hybrid strain” 7/10 – Uncut Artist Jim Ghedi Genre Folk Label Basin Rock Buying Options 180g 1LP Includes Download Code Format 180g , 1LP , Includes Download Code Condition New Country UK Track Listings Common Thread The Lamentations of Round Oak Waters Mytholm Stolen Ground Ah Cud Hew Beneath The Willow Beneath The Willow Part II Son David Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Folk View Product Quick View Esther Rose How Many Times Folk | Full Time Hobby | 1LP Released 28th May 2021 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Esther Rose How Many Times £22.00 Genre: Folk Label: Full Time Hobby SKU: FTH404LPA Formats: 1LP Released Date: 28th May 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Incredible String Band Hangman’s Beautiful Daughter Folk | Sundazed | 180g, 1LP Released 14th July 2016 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Incredible String Band Hangman’s Beautiful Daughter £28.00 Genre: Folk Label: Sundazed SKU: SUNDAZEDLP5129 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 14th July 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View F.J.
