Still known for his 1968 masterpiece “Ask the Unicorn” (remastered / reissued by Tin Angel in 2015), Askew has been crafting a sort of art crooner pop for decades — vivid imagistic lyrics supported by wild melodies and his increasingly warm voice. Askew’s two most recent studio albums are also on Tin Angel and feature Sharon van Etten, Marc Ribot and Mary Lattimore. The tour was with Neilson’s own psych folk darlings, Trembling Bells. The groups soon began to mingle and by the end, everybody sang back up on the Sikh dharma quoted in Heron’s ‘A Very Cellular Song.’ Ed Askew’s set included Neilson on drums, Mike Hasting of the Bells on guitar and keyboardist, Jay Pluck. Prior to what would be an iconic show at Cafe Oto in London, this group went to Flesh and Bone Studio in Hackney to record a session live to track with Owen Pratt. They were joined by friend and collaborator, violinist Jordan Hunt (The Irrespressibles, Theo Adams Company). This EP is that live to track afternoon session. The songs, all of them from the tour set list, cover the range of Askew’s career. The title track from his 1968 masterpiece is there; and also ‘Little Eyes’ which is a title track as well from the “sister album” to Ask the Unicorn which was recorded the same year but remained unreleased until 2007 (DeStijl).’Coast to Coast’ and ‘Little Clouds’ are brand new songs — “All the times I’ve tried / to love some guy / to love some guy. “’Starlight in Brooklyn’ was written the night Askew got home from his very first tour in 2012. And ‘Roadio Rose’ remains Askew’s most played and one of his most amazing songs. “Askew also has a painter’s talent for imagery and symbolism; the black rider breaking silver chains amid the tumbling piano chords on ‘Roadio Rose.’” — Ben Graham, The Quietus Artist Ed Askew Genre Folk Label Tin Angel Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings Little Eyes Coast To Coast Little Clouds Starlight In Brooklyn Ask The Unicorn Roadio Rose Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Folk View Product Quick View Matt Berry & The Maypoles Matt Berry & The Maypoles Live (Limited Colour LP) Folk | Acid Jazz | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 20th November 2015 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Matt Berry & The Maypoles Matt Berry & The Maypoles Live (Limited Colour LP) £22.00 Genre: Folk Label: Acid Jazz SKU: AJXLP397X Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 20th November 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Loreena McKennitt Lost Souls Folk | Quinlan Road | 180g, 1LP, Includes CD Released 11th May 2018 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Loreena McKennitt Lost Souls £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: Quinlan Road SKU: QRLP117 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes CD Released Date: 11th May 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Emily Barker A Dark Murmuration of Words Folk | Everyone Sang | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 4th September 2020 £16.00 - £18.00 Select options Emily Barker A Dark Murmuration of Words £16.00 - £18.00 Genre: Folk Label: Everyone Sang Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 4th September 2020 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Janis Ian The Light at the End of the Line Folk | Rude Girl Records | 1LP Released 9th December 2022 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Janis Ian The Light at the End of the Line £21.00 Genre: Folk Label: Rude Girl Records SKU: RGR102 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 9th December 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Maria Taylor Lynn Teeter Flower Folk | Saddle Creek | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 7th February 2023 £18.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Maria Taylor Lynn Teeter Flower £18.00 Genre: Folk Label: Saddle Creek SKU: nn257565 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 7th February 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Chris Brain Steady Away Folk | Big Sun Records | 1LP Released 6th October 2023 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Chris Brain Steady Away £23.00 Genre: Folk Label: Big Sun Records SKU: LPBSR002 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 6th October 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Joy Williams Venus Folk | Columbia | 1LP Released 26th June 2015 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Joy Williams Venus £18.00 Genre: Folk Label: Columbia SKU: 88875087611 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 26th June 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Joanna Newsom Divers Folk | Drag City | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 20th October 2015 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Joanna Newsom Divers £24.00 Genre: Folk Label: Drag City SKU: DC561 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 20th October 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Nick Drake Five Leaves Left Folk | Island | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 26th September 2013 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nick Drake Five Leaves Left £26.00 Genre: Folk Label: Island SKU: 3734756 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 26th September 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Serious Child Time In The Trees Folk | Four Left Feet | 1LP Released 24th April 2020 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Serious Child Time In The Trees £16.00 Genre: Folk Label: Four Left Feet SKU: FLFR10101LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 24th April 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Folk Start again
