Description
Eleven songs evoking the eight festivals of the pagan year, with two for the Oak King and the Holly King, and one covering the whole cycle.
Notes
Since arriving on the British underground scene in 1992 Mooch have made twenty two albums covering a wide musical range, from ambient to electronic to rock to psychedelic via all stations in between, not least the critically acclaimed albums The Pagan Year, Dr Silbury’s Liquid Brainstem Band and 1967½.
Summer solstice 2013 sees the release of an album long in the making – eleven songs covering the pagan wheel of the year: eight festivals (two solstices, two equinoxes and four Celtic cross-festivals), plus two songs for the Oak King and Holly King who symbolically battle every solstice, and a final song covering the whole year. Featuring new recruit Beck Sian (a cousin of Kate Bush blessed with a similarly wondrous voice), the new album covers ‘seventies folk/rock/progressive territory in the style of bands such as Renaissance. A second newcomer Shelagh Teahan sings some of the songs. As ever all the music was written by Steve Palmer and recorded at his Studio-by-the-Stream in Shropshire, UK.
A note on the band’s name – in Britain ‘to mooch’ means to enjoy quiet or relaxed time, usually not doing very much…
