Neil Campbell / Fickle - split

PLURAL 001:

NEIL CAMPBELL / FICKLE

NEIL CAMPBELL requires little or no introduction to anyone who has had even a passing interest in the UK drone/noise underground over the last I5-plus years. A veteran of such outfits as THE A BAND & SUNROOF plus successful collaborations with RICHARD YOUNGS & JULIAN BRADLEY (to name but a few), NEIL CAMPBELL has cemented his reputation as a prolific, stimulating & inspired performer, a fact born out by the success & respect awarded his current outfit THE VIBRACATHEDRAL ORCHESTRA. His contribution to the FIRSTPERSON 3" series - "RABBITFOOT OOF" is another example of his patented "Yorkshire drone music" & a worthy addition to an already extensive back catalogue.

FICKLE have already issued a cd as part of the EVELYN RECORDS SUBSCRIBER SERIES, reports tell of a cyclical melancholy, at once both mechanical and organic but always human and hopeful. Bolstered to a duo for this recording, the piece can only be accurately described as "epic" centered as it is around a decaying piano, which is augmented by violins, acoustic gtr, organ, percussion, wordless vocals etc. Broken into two adjoining halves the track builds initially to a thundering finale before a trance-inducing dirge removes all remnants of time & place.
