Shirley Collins: Crowlink (Domino RUG1233DHD)

Crowlink
Shirley Collins

Domino Recording RUG1233DHD (DL EP, UK, 30 July 2021)

Crowlink is a collection of songs sung by Shirley Collins in the heart of the South Downs, with field records from the edge of the cliff at Crowlink, Firle Church and from Etchingham. Recorded looking out to sea, listening to the song of the skylarks, the wind whipping through the bent over trees, the waves crashing against the white cliffs, the pull of the tide across chalk, shingle and stone.

Produced by Matthew Shaw;
Field recordings by Matthew Shaw;
Sound design by Ossian Brown
