clang sayne - Winterlands
You may have previously heard Clang Sayne's unique brand of jazz-inflected free-folk on the The Wire magazine's Wire Tapper CD last October. The quartet's stunning 'A Death And A Vision' was included on the tracklist, showcasing an uncategorisable approach to song craft that brings to mind the music of Tim Buckley, Jandek and David Sylvian's collaborations with Derek Bailey. This indefinable part-improvised, part-composed sound is led by the band's songwriter, vocalist and acoustic guitarist, Laura Hyland, who surrounds herself with like-mindedly experimental musicians James O'Sullivan (electric guitar "and objects", as he ambiguously puts it), Peter Marsh (plucked and bowed double bass) and Matt Fisher (percussion). Hyland's lyrics mix self-penned works with excerpts from writers like Dorothy Parker, William Stafford and Anais Nin, weaving a freeform drift of interruption-littered narratives around an equally deconstructed musical environment. For all the irregular dynamics and seemingly unstable harmonic relationships within all this, Clang Syne's music avoids being heavy-going or alienating - perhaps in part due to Hyland's effortless, beguiling singing style, but also because of the confident musicianship and organic recording circumstances. The whole album was laid down in single takes over a three-day period, and you can really hear Winterlands breathe because of this. What could have easily been thorny, difficult content flows naturally between the players and it's remarkably easy to get caught up in their singular sonic language. Recommended.
