Wounded Knee : Free EP

-

Recorded on the 16th April 2010 in Alloway, close to Burn's Cottage, produced by Chris Dooks. Thanks to The University of The West of Scotland, Eleanor Dooks and Bar Libertine.We were so lucky to record this exclusive three track E.P. with WK and the evening gig was incredible - Mr Knee put in a hard day's work with Ayrtime and then went on to perform in a near-capacity crowd at Bar Libertine. The blurb from Benbecula records below says it all!Edinburgh-based Wounded Knee's live work is a mesmerising hallucinatory trip of vocal loops and found instruments. A postmodern Hebridean waulking song ethic, along with one of the most accomplished dramatic tenors in contemporary music, forms a unique hypnotic and honest sound that is without cliché or match. During 2008-9 WK's live style mediated toward improvised journeys into vocal realisation with performances reaching an almost primal level. Song, spoken word and sound effects drawing influences from as far afield as Gaelic psalm, improvisation and throat techniques à la Bobby McFerrin and even scat. At the heart, a modern symbiosis of folk and mantra, culminating in an artist who is unique, playful and captivating. [text, benbecula.com]
