Owl Service
Black Chapel Music Part 3
The latest release in a new series from alternative folk trailblazers The Owl Service, 'Black Chapel Music part 3' sees the Essex-based collective once again drag traditional folk music into pastures new. On these two recordings The Owl Service venture into a kind of eighties goth/dream pop sound, heavy on airy synths, vintage drum machines, and modulated guitar tones. The A side is a new take on a traditional folk ballad collected in their native Essex, while on the flip fuses original lyrics by late, great Brit-folk legend Peter Bellamy, set to music by the late and equally great German performance artist Klaus Nomi. Standard weight black vinyl 7" in die-cut sleeve with postcard insert. 300 copies for the world.
