January Sounds, by Laura Cannell & Kate Ellis

January Sounds

by Laura Cannell & Kate Ellis

supported by

Ron Hogan These three tracks flow together really neatly—hard to pick out a favorite! They set an exquisite mood of foreboding.

Robert Day I like these sounds. I look forward to a year filled with them. Favorite track: Wastelands.

Kate Laity January Sounds features three tracks by Cannell & Ellis that capture those twin threads of strangeness and beauty that arise from the land. Folk horror has become such a powerful trope in recent years across so much media, but folk beauty has sometimes been more elusive. These two extraordinary musicians manage to convey both. (full review Punk Noir Magazine)

Nic Dafis A gawn ni un o'r rhain bob mis? We're going to get one of these every month? Favorite track: Harts Blood.

Gavin Hellyer Just superb, as always with anything involving Laura. Lie back and soak it in. Favorite track: Sea Tower.

about

Brawl Records is proud to present JANUARY SOUNDS from UK and Ireland based musicians Laura Cannell and Kate Ellis. Featuring Cannell’s signature evocative overbowed violin alongside Ellis’s deeply expressive cello playing.

This release is the first in a series of twelve as part of a major new project:

THESE FERAL LANDS – A Year Documented in Sound and Art. An ambitious and exciting creative documentation of 2021 from two innovative and highly acclaimed instrumentalists with new music released monthly, and bespoke films published at Caught by the River.

Supported by the Arts Council of England.

‘Meeting each other has inspired us to create new music that reflects the optimism, the change and also strangeness which has affected both of our working lives. This project is both a sonic and visual diary, and a long distance call and response capturing a moment in time.’

 Laura Cannell - Violin/Overbowed Violin & Kate Ellis - Cello/Voice

This project was only made possible thanks to public funding from the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
