ALEXANDER TUCKER eh. The genius is back with a brand new album on ATP called 'Furrowed Brow' We all loved his last album to bits. Initially this one didn't hit me as quickly but the more I listen to it I can hear it's greatness. There doesn't appear to be as many weird sounding instruments as there was on the last album but it still has that medieval folk sound. You folks who are into your strange folk this is extremely worthy of checking out. The atmosphere the guy creates is really quite incredible. There's a certain uplifting ness in it this yet is sounds quite dark and mystical at times. Cock knows. What do I know? Only got the LP in now... CD to follow next week. The competition winner will be notified when the CD comes in... you can still pre order the CD and enter. Apparently the artwork we're getting is incredible. I want it myself! CHECK THIS

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Alexander Tucker’s outstanding new studio album ‘Furrowed Brow’ was recorded in his home county of deepest darkest Kent. For this new recording Tucker has combined harmonised vocal patterns, layered instrumentation and heavy sonic bliss riffs to create a cross-between David Crosby, doom metal and Terry Riley. lHis commanding live performance has led to collaborations which include working with Stephen O’Malley (SunnO))), Khanate) on his Ginnungagap side project (Southern Records limited Latitudes series), providing the soundtrack to Lali Chetwynd’s performance piece at Tate Britain and playing as a part of JOMF, Duke Garwood, and Little Wet Horse.
