ABOUT THIS ITEM

Erland is Erland Cooper, an Orcadian guitarist. The Carnival are guitarist Simon Tong (The Verve, The Good, The Bad, The Queen) plus drummer/engineer David Nock (engineer on Paul McCartney’s The Fireman). Well, that’s 'the basic triangle and three headed monster of the group', says Tong – keys/harmonium player Andy Bruce, vocalist Georgia Sands and bassist Danny Wheeler complete the extended line-up.

Together, they make a pastoral, psychedelic sound described by Tong as 'Pentangle meets Ennio Morricone meets Love meets 13th Floor Elevators meets Joe Meek'. This is their debut album and is packed full of folk-tinged, psyched-up, fuzzed-out brilliance.
