Lethesowe Bell by SALTINGS - Matthew Grigg - Harry Furniss - Ellen Southern
Track 2 featuring Matthew Grigg (guitar)
Track 4 featuring Harry Furniss (cornet)
Track 6 featuring Ellen Southern (voice)
A (loose) concept album based around the myth of Lyonesse (also referred to as Lethesowe), a kingdom which, according to legend, consisted of a long strand of land stretching from Land's End at the southwestern tip of Cornwall to the Isles of Scilly. It was lost after being swallowed by the ocean in a single night. Lyonesse's most significant feature was a castle-like cathedral that was built on top of what is now the Seven Stones Reef, and it is said that the tolling of the bell can still be heard from beneath the waves as the sun sets on the offing.

Working by himself or collaborating with others, Andrew draws on the unsettling literary influences of authors like M.R. James and W.G. Sebald to tentatively create audio-worlds of controlled darkness; hushed plateaux of eerie tranquility and black horizons full of whispering, half-dreamed creatures...
