Description

"If people thought it was a bit strange, then they didn't say" says Scottish composer Bill Wells of the stellar cast of collaborators who played and sung on his new album, Nursery Rhymes. "I made it all clear pretty early on in proceedings and everyone seemed up for it."

Well, actually, it is a bit strange, but then think of Wells' trademark combination of spare, melodic compositions with adventurous arrangements for the National Jazz Trio Of Scotland, particularly his adaptions of Christmas songs on their Christmas Album - and he's a perfect fit for the job. The songs are like musical archetypes embedded in the mind from the playground, but listening to the album you soon forget that context, as it reveals itself as a series of odd, cryptic and disquieting tunes. Featuring Isobel Campbell alongside members of Yo La Tengo, Teenage Fanclub and many others, it’s another remarkable addition to Wells’ distinguished catalogue - and on this vinyl edition comes with an exclusive 7” featuring four extra tracks.
