city shepherd
One-off project from Adam Coney and Robert Doherty. Four tracks, recorded over one week, reflect the results of experimental improvisations re-contextualising the defining tools of the blues and roots music. The harmonica’s repetitive rhythms and riffs collapse into overlapped meandering drones and delay. Wandering guitar accompanies without ever taking over or committing itself to obvious structures. The evocations and ghosts of the defining proletariat musical idiom are excavated respectfully within the spirit of freedom that it originally signified for all those who made it and it was made for.
