Now available on CD. 'Widdershins is a rambunctious collection that noisily reinvents English folklore through the earthy, wilfully artistic vision of a musical one-off. ' ARTS DESK 'The music will appeal to fans of psych-folk, dark folk and experimental folk, but can hardly be said to be recycling the ideas of other bands from these genres. The theatrical vocal delivery and the playful/sinister dichotomy of many of the songs brings to mind Current 93, though this comparison relates only to shared aesthetics rather than shared sound. Jowe Head isn't an artist I would have expected to make an album steeped in folklore and mythology, but I'm very glad that he has.' Bliss Aquamarine 'This is not an album that is easily reviewable. It stands in its own space, gathers it's uniqueness around it like a cloak and, if you work hard enough, gives you glimpses of what lies within. It is brilliant, edgy but brilliant.' Music news .com 'Widdershins is an album for the wretched and the visionary to claim equally as their own!' Gareth Thompson R2 'This double length release, sumptuously packaged with the artist's own graphics, finds the erstwhile Stephen Bird applying his characteristically left-field sensibilities to the tangled roots of folklore; as paradoxical as that might appear, in practice the approach makes perfect sense' Hugh Gulland, Vive Le Rock '...a lot of different sounds and styles are utilised, but never just for the sake of it. This LP accomplishes what a lot of records claim, but ultimately don't fulfil, i.e. taking the listener on a real journey. One that is fraught with a bit of danger, occasionally deviates wildly, but always delivers a lot of food for thought, along with some excellent music. Looking for a real musical experience instead of a set of ditties? You found it. Looking for something that reflects the current obsession with Folk Horror, but recognises the passage of time, feels true and tries to make sense of it all in 2019? You got it. Looking for a simply great record? You got it. Now get it.' Louder Than War 'Jowe has a deep sing-speak voice, which he utilises to great effect, throughout this eclectic album. It's a real grower of an album, packed full of interesting songs.' Andrew Young, Ptolemaic Terrascope
