Back In Stock

We are only Sound' is the long-awaited debut album from singer, composer, viola, fiddle and tenor guitar-player Lucy Farrell. Lucy has been a prominent figure on the UK folk scene for many years with her skills much in demand by a plethora of esteemed folk artists, which has meant her solo career has taken a back seat. Until now. 'We are only Sound' was recorded in the glorious medieval surrounds of Much Wenlock Abbey, home to Nick Drake's sister Gabrielle who gifted the recording space - as well as the use of her brother's instruments - through a mutual friend. Specifically, Nick Drake's piano and guitar were tuned and used in the recording bestowing a unique quality to the album. Songs were recorded together, in one room, in one take. Lucy's crystalline vocals are highlighted by sparse accompaniment: the exquisite melodies interwoven with intricate - yet delicate - guitar playing and subtle electronic touches. Songs are introspective and dreamy, written over a span of eight years during which Lucy experienced motherhood, breakups and all that comes with such heart and life changing events. "I think these themes and ideas are universal," she says. "They would resonate for other people too." Lucy continues, "I find it hard to articulate my thoughts in sentences - it's much easier to muse through them in songs. It's how I work through my feelings. There's a lot of wonderings in them, but no answers". Lucy is joined by Kris Drever (Lau) on guitar and vocals, Ben Nichols (Nadine Shah) on double bass, Tom Lenthall on piano, Neil McSweeney on bass and M G Boulter on slide guitar.
