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 John Renbourn & Wizz Jones Joint Control Folk | Riverboat Records | 2LP Released 30th June 2017 £32.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Renbourn & Wizz Jones Joint Control £32.00 Genre: Folk Label: Riverboat Records SKU: TUGLP1095 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 30th June 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Paul's picks View Product Quick View Seth Avett Seth Avett Sings Greg Brown Folk | Ramseur Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 4th November 2022 £20.00 Select options Seth Avett Seth Avett Sings Greg Brown £20.00 Genre: Folk Label: Ramseur Records Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 4th November 2022 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Mawkin The Ties That Bind Folk | Goodform Records | 1LP Released 17th July 2015 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mawkin The Ties That Bind £17.00 Genre: Folk Label: Goodform Records SKU: MKN004VINYL Formats: 1LP Released Date: 17th July 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Garnet Rogers The Outside Track Folk | Snow Gooses Songs | 1LP Released 13th June 2014 £5.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Garnet Rogers The Outside Track £5.00 Genre: Folk Label: Snow Gooses Songs SKU: NN70009 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 13th June 2014 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Bella Hardy With The Dawn Folk | Noe Records | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 26th March 2015 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bella Hardy With The Dawn £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: Noe Records SKU: NOE08V Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 26th March 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Birds of Chicago Love In Wartime Folk | Signature Sounds | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 25th May 2018 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Birds of Chicago Love In Wartime £20.00 Genre: Folk Label: Signature Sounds SKU: LPSIG7026 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 25th May 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View John Cunningham Thoughts From Another World Folk | Highway | 1LP Released 13th June 2014 £5.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations John Cunningham Thoughts From Another World £5.00 Genre: Folk Label: Highway SKU: NN70103 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 13th June 2014 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Bella Hardy Hey Sammy Folk | Noe Records | 1LP Released 24th November 2017 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bella Hardy Hey Sammy £17.00 Genre: Folk Label: Noe Records SKU: NOE10V Formats: 1LP Released Date: 24th November 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Rumer Into Colour Americana / Country | Atlantic | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 24th August 2023 £35.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Rumer Into Colour £35.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Atlantic SKU: nn269878 Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 24th August 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Robin Williamson Love Will Remain Folk | Quadrant | 1LP, Includes CD Released 17th August 2012 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Robin Williamson Love Will Remain £25.00 Genre: Folk Label: Quadrant SKU: Q00002LP Formats: 1LP, Includes CD Released Date: 17th August 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Folk Start again
