Meets Guitar - 7"
A: The Great Slip AA: Burning Of The Leaves
Quite simply a privilege to work with Gavin Baker again on this, his third essential contribution to the Kane legacy. We're thrilled to present Meets Guitar, two solo acoustic compositions, creating a kind of London pastoral. The Great Ship is a de-tuned instrumental, as intoxicating as the spirit of Nick Drake's "Bryter Layer". Burning of the Leaves - a darker, scratchy folk-tinged song, which Gavin realised a few months after writing is about "a ritualistic cleansing of past events and their effects."

"'The Great Slip' is an acoustic sidle down tree-lined lanes to the ocean, the guitar as sharp and clean as the sun reflecting off the fishing boats in the bay. 'Burning Of The Leaves' meanwhile is a gem of scratchy suburban folk... the closing line of 'the less you remember, the more secure you shall be' is as great a closing line as you'll find anywhere."

The Relict - Untitled Album
Being recorded this summer, and it's going to make us cry by Xmas. New songs and re-workings of deleted classics like Southern way and Along the Avenue, instrumentals, country tinged affairs.

"Pale blue guitar and mauve tinged vocals, café windows reflecting passing train tracks, your attention in the cracks on the icicles"
