Thanks to The Wire (500th issue published this week!) for these words about my new album:
Lists can be poetic as well as functional. Naming in that direct way conveys a sense of concreteness. Leo Chadburn's "Magic Flora Of The East Midlands", the second of four tracks, starts with a spoken catalogue of plants, minimally glossed with healing or magical qualities traditionally attributed to each, while Latin botanical names are intoned by a monastic voice. This curiously engrossing piece also incorporates a list of traditional occupations - wheelwright, ostler, blacksmith, and so on. Words can generate extensive webs of association, and through time they acquire a patina of accrued meaning. Through texts which engage with landscape, regional history, perception and personal recollection, Chadburn invites us to experience the chemistry of language, its precipitation of imagery, embellished with field recordings and finely judged instrumental and electronic enhancements. An evocative, sonically engaging and thought-provoking work.
