about

In which Fane's Gnostic wanderings take him further down paths of the humble acoustic guitar as an instrument of drones, texture and trance. Call it 'post-folk', call it 'Albion Primitive' - the term 'American Primitive' can't really be applied to music inspired by the lands of Sussex and Wales. After performing a handful of acoustic shows, where despite the drastically different setting a huge sound filled the room, at times seemingly of its own creation, Fane tapped into the primal musical conduit of the acoustic guitar.

Equipped with a Guild 12-string, a delay pedal and his usual sense of wanderlust, Fane begins a new musical chapter.

Notes - The word 'druid', traced back through its many tangled roots, can be directly interpreted as 'oak seer' or 'oak knower'. The rest of the title? A thinly-veiled John Fahey reference, what else? Eden Falls - a modest but still picturesque waterfall in Ashdown Forest, Sussex. Black Mountain here refers to Fan Brycheiniog in the western Brecon Beacons, not to be confused with the Black Mountain range to the east. Kings Road - the main seafront drag in Brighton. At times, the Chaotic Good magic of the city can give way to Chaotic Evil...
