Far From The Tree – Launch & UK Tour

Hello all
 
We bring you news, real news worthy of large print and the lungs of a town crier.
 
Our debut album Far From The Tree is but a number of days from launch, this coming Friday 23rd September, and how proud we are. Then to coincide with this rite of passage, we will be embarking upon a nationwide tour of England and Scotland, from Cornwall to the Highlands with over 20 dates.
 
 
 
THE ALBUM
 
Far From The Tree brings together our folk ramblings from the last two years, all the gigs, sessions and journeys. The album is ours, truly belongs to all three of us and all the friends we’ve made along the winding road. We entered the studio late last year with the master producer and musician Gerry Diver (acclaimed for his work with Lisa Knapp, Sam Lee, Tom Robinson). His inventiveness and grasp of folk music provided the catalyst to our creation, moulding the shape and whittling away the bumps.
 
Through all the blood, sweat and tears, here it is at last. Far From The Tree simply would not have happened were it not for the belief and generosity of our friends. There’s ten tracks of painstakingly crafted original tunes, reimagined folk songs, a couple of nods to our largest influences, and a clutch of lyrics from some of the greatest wordsmiths we know. Stephen Muldoon and W. B. Yeats we salute you.
 
 
 
Then the audible became physical, we made a CD. Our album cover features a beautiful sycamore seed sculpture crafted by Cornish artist Billy Wynter, and photographed in the depths of London by TEYR. Shot using a legendary Hasselblad camera on roll film, we ushered the image into life in the darkroom via a performance of its own. Sebastian Henderson then provided the controlled explosion of colour which adorns the CD itself, and man of measure Dan Biddulph assembled the elegant design.
 
So here it is. You can pre-order a copy now from our website (http://teyr.co.uk/p/listen.html) or wait till next week to download or order directly from a number of outlets:
 
Bandcamp
iTunes
Amazon
Spotify
 
We can wait to share it with you all!
 
THE TOUR
 
Between now and the beginning of November we take to the road. Our grand opening London launch is hosted by the Nest Collective and with the incomparable support of Loïc Bléjean and Tad Sargent. Regular tickets are £8 advance and £10 on the door.
