Cardinal Fuzz and Feeding Tube Records present the debut album by artist,musician and writer Andrew DR Abbott. 'Dead In Chellow Dean' extends the themesand aesthetic introduced in his 'Live On Daisy Hill' cassette released in 2018by Bloxham Tapes and described by The Quietus as 'a minor 21st century folkmasterpiece'. Through a series of instrumental 8-string baritone acoustic guitarcompositions, Abbott conveys a dark and disorientating journey through thebeautifully derelict hinterlands of Bradford: the postindustrial city in theNorth of England where he lives. The core tracks of the album are joinedtogether by collages of field recordings and improvisations on handmadeinstruments. Best known for his deafening guitar work in the bands That FuckingTank and NOPE, 'Dead In Chellow Dean' is Abbott's most personal andintrospective work to date. The rough, heavy and at times dissonant and fragilequalities of Abbott's fingerstyle guitar and woozy interludes create apsychedelic soundtrack to the shadowy sides of present-day Bradford. 'Dead InChellow Dean' is a folk horror interpretation of life in the liminal spacebetween the urban and rural, deprivation and affluence, the everyday and themagically surreal. Using the fingerpicking techniques of Fahey, Basho and Kottkeas a base to create his own twisting, non-linear compositions, Abbott weaves ininfluences from UK guitar contemporaries like Richard Dawson, Steven Malley (TheHorse Loom), Dean McPhee and Gwenifer Raymond. More post-hardcore thantrad-folk, Joe Osborne's roomy recording truly captures the dynamics of Abbott'splaying from sparse heavy minimalism through to moments of derailed intensity.Limited to 300 copies including a 10-page 21 cm square booklet featuring artworkby Ruth Fettis and a short story by Andrew DR Abbott and download code withbonus track.
