MASHA ZINEVITCH of DLINA VOLNY – Song For Ewe
"This song transports to a USSR discotheque. We dance in a peculiar way and smile at each other, shaking our heads and snapping our fingers. It’s as if we’re watching ourselves on a little old black and white TV set."

JOHNNY JOHNSON from THE SIDDELEYS – Song For Ewe
“Shirley Collins has said that when she sings, she can feel past generations standing behind her. It’s impossible to know how many ghosts would surround her singing “Hares on the Mountain” – it’s a song that may be two hundred years old, perhaps more, passed from mouth to ear and sung by many unknown singers before her.”

TEKE::TEKE – Lucky 7
“Sonically, there’s a lot going on here ; Melodic and traditional licks go hand-in-hand with the more experimental and noise side of T::T. The tribal rhythm section, the psychedelic guitar solo and the trombone one at the end, the break with the quiet flute, the use of the ‘taisho-koto’ (vintage electric mini-koto, kind of like if a type-writer and a slide guitar had a baby), the elements of surprise, the contrasts…”

Tapscott wouldn’t record again until 1978 when he began to release a score of LPs on independent labels.

DANIEL AVERY – Song For Ewe
“I love an underdog story. In the late 90s the Japanese video game developer Konami formed a group of previously under-performing employees which would become known as Team Silent. Following the zeitgeist of the time, the group were tasked with creating a horror game that would sell well to mainstream western audiences. Team Silent, however, wanted to do things in their own style and after one too many arguments, Konami stopped wasting their energies and pushed the team to one side.”

ANNA B SAVAGE – Song For Ewe
“I’m cat sitting at the moment, and I can’t work out the Sonos here so the only thing I seem to be able to play is my July Spotify playlist. This is the second track on it, I’ve been listening to it ever day, and I absolutely love it. It’s so delicate, warm and playful, and such a gorgeous recording to boot.”
