Temple of Fiddes

by Barrett's Dottled Beauty

supported by

jgladden With moments rivalving the beguillng Gayle Brogan work, Pefkin's Finalinstar, Temple Fiddes melds soaring vocal excursions with meticulously sculpted sound collage hinting at eastern influences, ambient sustained tones, psychedelic soaring guitar work, sharp and concise, blissful, cathartic, layered, but without superfulous detail, each part neccesary, restrained, for me, the highlight of Barrett's Dottled Beauty's catalog. The two outliers being The Rookery has Fallen Silent and Rhynie.

Review from Bliss by Kim Harten BARRETT'S DOTTLED BEAUTY Temple of Fiddes LP/Download (Les Enfants du Paradiddle)
Third album from Barrett's Dottled Beauty, the experimental psychedelic folk duo comprising Alan Davidson (Kitchen Cynics) and Gayle Brogan (Pefkin, Electroscope, Burd Ellen). The album is released as an LP limited to 100 copies with unique hand-collaged covers; a digital download is also available. In Warblers, lilting, thrumming experimental psychedelia with whirring analogue synths and atmospheric use of wah-wah forms the backdrop for beautiful ethereal folk song and evocative spoken word. Parhelion combines an insect-like electronic buzz, the pealing tones of a zither, and gentle piano which has the feel of being played in the distance, to create a woozy, dreamlike atmosphere. The Rookery Has Fallen Silent Now sets a slightly dark-edged folk song to a heady psychedelic mix of rook sounds, bells, acoustic guitar, strings and woodwind. February Sighs its Last is a semi-improvisational piece close to 18 minutes in length, in which several subtle melodies intertwine with each other. Flute is employed to evoke the fluttering and soaring movements of birds, while the recorder melody somehow calls to mind timelapse photography of flowers pushing up through the earth. Gayle's vocals are ethereal and often wordless, adding extra atmosphere to the piece. Final track Rhynie is a traditional folk song set to shimmering psychedelic ambience. A truly beautiful album from a band with a highly original musical approach.

Set your controls for the heart of the next closest sun that you can find. This is the soundtrack for transfiguration, divination and disintegration. You will absolutely lose yourself in this psychedelic eddy of drones, swoops, and other-worldly glister. Aurora Borealis is highly redolent of the closing credits for the classic TV show UFO, full of foreboding and a bubbling under the surface menace Paul Sands
