MICHAEL CHAPMAN

improvised guitar noise from yorkshire troubadour  intent on putting “to rest this idea that i'm a f**kin' folk singer".

the music here is unlike anything he has crafted before, casting aside his skills as a songwriter & focussing on improvisation for the first time. egged on by thurston moore, chapman has dug deep to create something intense, full of spirit & somewhat of a curve ball for those familiar with the back catalogue he has put out over 5 decades. “it moves from spectral blues rumblings to shimmering eastern percussion, unfolding with a sense of blissful surprise & discovery” 4/5 – mojo.
