Listening diary 25th February, 2022: Richard Dawson - Peasant (avant-folk, 2017)

I don't really like writing these bits for albums I'm on first listen for, but I didn't listen to an awful lot of music on the 25th of February, so this will have to do. I had heard a live rendition of "Ogre" a while back, after my obsession with 2020 reached google search levels. It immediately struck me just how freak folk it was, and though this version isn't the same level of intensity as the live version, it's certainly a world away from the sound of its successor. I hear a lot of Comus and Exuma here, both artists that I love at the best of times but frequently fly off into unnecessary bouts of obscurity, and that can be heard here too. Time will tell if I warm to the more abrasive segments, but regardless of that I still believe that Dawson is a very special artist and what he does is completely unique.

5.8 (1st listen)
