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 Aoife O'Donovan In The Magic Hour Folk | Yep Roc | 180g, 1LP Released 19th February 2016 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Aoife O'Donovan In The Magic Hour £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: Yep Roc SKU: LPYEP2428 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 19th February 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mike Cooper & Steve Gunn Frkwys Vol. 11 : Contos De Lisboa Folk | RVNG Intl | 1LP Released 18th June 2014 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mike Cooper & Steve Gunn Frkwys Vol. 11 : Contos De Lisboa £21.00 Genre: Folk Label: RVNG Intl SKU: FRKWYS11LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 18th June 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Paul's picks View Product Quick View Richard Thompson Grizzly Man (Soundtrack) Folk | No Quarter | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 6th May 2022 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Richard Thompson Grizzly Man (Soundtrack) £26.00 Genre: Folk Label: No Quarter SKU: NOQ080LP Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 6th May 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View First Aid Kit Ruins Folk | Columbia | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 15th January 2018 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders First Aid Kit Ruins £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: Columbia SKU: 88985493661 Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 15th January 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Katherine Priddy The Pendulum Swing Folk | Cooking Vinyl | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released 16th February 2024 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Katherine Priddy The Pendulum Swing £23.00 Genre: Folk Label: Cooking Vinyl SKU: COOKLP910X Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 16th February 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Linda Perhacs The Soul Of All Natural Things Folk | Asthmatic Kitty Records | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 20th March 2014 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Linda Perhacs The Soul Of All Natural Things £16.00 Genre: Folk Label: Asthmatic Kitty Records SKU: AKR119LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 20th March 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Gallagher And Lyle Willie And The Lapdog Folk | A&M | 1LP Released 15th April 2024 £8.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Gallagher And Lyle Willie And The Lapdog £8.00 Genre: Folk Label: A&M SKU: nn284626 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 15th April 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Loreena McKennitt To Drive The Cold Winter Away Folk | Quinlan Road | 180g, 1LP Released 20th November 2015 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Loreena McKennitt To Drive The Cold Winter Away £22.00 Genre: Folk Label: Quinlan Road SKU: QRLP102 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 20th November 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Joan Baez Joan Baez Folk | Pure Pleasure | 180g, 1LP Released 13th November 2007 £34.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Joan Baez Joan Baez £34.00 Genre: Folk Label: Pure Pleasure SKU: VSD2077 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 13th November 2007 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Josh Kimbrough Slither, Soar & Disappear Folk | Worried Songs | 1LP Released 3rd December 2021 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Josh Kimbrough Slither, Soar & Disappear £20.00 Genre: Folk Label: Worried Songs SKU: WS005 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 3rd December 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Folk Start again
