RECORD EX (please, read above description)
SLEEVE NEAR EX but (please, see pictures and read above description)
Starting as a five-piece folk-band, Dando Shaft initiated a completely unique mixture of acoustic folk
(none of the instruments are electrically amplified!) with driving rhythms and impeccable inventive musicianship.
The lyrics are largely concerned with the relationship between man and nature.
They marvel in complicated structures and textures and are able to weave very intricate patterns,
especially between mandolin (played in a highly original manner), guitar and violin.
Very characteristic is also the combination of hand-beaten percussion and double-bass.
After a change of label they acquired the services of a female singer, Polly Bolton, who had a pure and very expressive voice.
Their second album brings in some elements of Bulgarian folk-music (asymmetrical time-measures)
but is very much stamped by Polly's vocals and superb original compositions such
as Whispering Ned, a rather funny drug-song and above all the achingly beautiful Riverboat...(Tapestry of Delights)
