Down To The Marshes

David Lance Callahan's 2024 delivery 'Down To The Marshes' partially relies, as did the two volumes of 'English Primitive' which preceded it, on strands of vaguely arcane British Isles folk music. Still, the album's subjects, tone and references are almost entirely modern; the presence of Indian modalities, for example, seems to dutifully acknowledge the country's post-war multicultural make-up... in case you've forgotten that this is modern music made with an eye to the future, whatever that may bring. That said, 'Down To The Marshes', is somewhat brighter, almost optimistic in a manner that the two previous albums were not, though with a slightly ambiguous tone.
