PAMELA WYN SHANNON

Massachusetts-based musician Pamela Wyn Shannon's inventive and intricate guitar work has been described as "a tiny chamber orchestra working in unison at the end of her hands," and her vocal style has a delicate lilting sensitivity. Her unique compositions have an elliptical quality which creates its own timeframe, rules, and kingdoms, and are reminiscent of the magic found in UK '60s artifacts.

Her recent CD "Courting Autumn", is a sonic almanac burnished with melancholy, its wistful vocals floating above slinky and delicate hand-spun guitar, windswept and weather-worn by plaintive string and recorder arrangements.

KITCHEN CYNICS

This is what Triptych said about Alan earlier this year. It sounds great, so we copied it…

“A one-man psych-folk vanquisher from Aberdeen, Alan Davidson – aka Kitchen Cynics – has cultivated wry acoustic apologues and warm machine parables since the Eighties. He’s propagated a slew of cassettes and CDRs, while live alliances include Damon & Naomi and Masaki Batoh (Ghost). Davidson’s mythological, prosaic and deadpan narratives map the universal and the personal: celebrating in equal measure the sea and lasagne; fossils and love.”
