Faeland - When I Close My Eyes (2021) [gnodde]



Faeland’s When I Close My Eyes is melodic folk album that bobs melodically on the surface of a lake yet still manages to probe the deep depths of its waters. I suppose Sandy Denny is at work here. She, with an immense traditional folk song resume, decided to “jump the broomstick” and persisted with her own self-penned eclectically melodic folk songs that set the stage for bands like Trees, Dando Shaft and Spriguns, or Mr. Fox. When I Close My Eyes takes that same leap into a world of great folk music that avoids singing yet another rendition of an age-old tune Cecil Sharp found while talking to someone who claimed blood kinship to Lord Randal, or perhaps, the infamous John Lee – the ‘Babbacombe’ guy whom they just couldn’t hang.

There’s some early Joni Mitchell here. It’s also a nice dance partner with (the very excellent) This Is The Kit and their recent Off Off On album.
