This is what happens when you invite Alasdair Roberts (Appendix Out) , Jill O' Sullivan (Jill Lorean) and Alex Neilson (Trembling Bells, Alex Rex) to gather and sing work from Will Oldham's book of collected lyrics, 'Songs of Love and Horror'. The latter - best known as Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - has long had a startling reputation for the kind of atmospheric songs and songwriting that transcends the ages, with the meditative 'Stablemate', used to open this exceptional special release, a case in point. The sense of foreboding atmosphere doesn't even wane when other artists get involved with their own interpretation. Of course things don't all sound so hypnotic and spellbinding. 'Lost Blues' is the kind of Americana that has been made for eons, and still isn't tired. 'I See A Dark' is a beautiful piece of violin-heavy vintage folk, and 'Wild Dandelion' closes on a campfire dance high.
