Face Down Strut by Gwenifer Raymond
Here's something the likes of which I've never posted on the blog before. I'm lifting straight from the artist's bio as it says everything you need to know:
Gwenifer Raymond is a Welsh multi-instrumentalist, originally from
Cardiff but now residing in Brighton, England. Gwenifer began playing
guitar at the age of eight shortly after having been first exposed to
punk and grunge. After years of playing around the Welsh valleys in
various punk outfits she began listening more to pre-war blues musicians
as well as Appalachian folk players, eventually leading into the guitar
players of the American Primitive genre. She has since been playing her
own moody and often-times manic original American Primitive styled
compositions on guitar and banjo around the UK and the US.
Gwenifer's debut album ‘You Never Were Much Of A Dancer’(great title) has found much critical favour, and here's a track from it played live in the outdoors.
Excellent.
ReplyDeleteI listened to Sometimes There's Blood months ago and it impressed me much. But sadly I forgot to investigate for more. Thank you for bringing her back to my mind.
