Darren j Holloway - Souls of the Disconnect of the Souls (2021)

My go to album at the moment is ‘Souls of the disconnected of the SoulS’ by Darren j HollowaY. I am pleased that Darren as made this available via the Hrea’m label. First listen steers you in the direction of raw/sparse guitar and keyboard improvisation however repeated plays whist travelling the lonnens surrounded by hedgerows; fields; woodland and isolated buildings allows a deeper assemennt and ‘es parra me’ guitar drone.

Listening to ‘They came in loW’ and ‘SilverheaD’ conjures in the mind field workers, children going to and fro school, lovers, tinkers, milking parlor girls, and tradesmen all walking the lonnens, the rich sound makes the ghostly past come alive.

If you purchase the delights of D.j.Holloway 4 track cassette you can seek out his outstanding TAK TENT radio podcasts series called ‘Sunken Paths – music from tracks less seen’.

‘do I love it indeed I do’.

So if you go down the heathery lonnen today make sure you wear your boots for it is clarty.
