Album
"Death and Other Animals" is the third album by British folk trio Faustus, released in October 2016. During 2016 the band were Artists in Residence at Halsway Manor, National Centre for the Folk Arts, in the Quantock Hills of Somerset, where they had unlimited access to the Manor’s extensive library. Material found therein shaped the album, which includes four songs unique to Halsway’s little-known Ruth Tongue archive. In addition to traditional music from the English canon, the album features a song by UK folkie, Bill Caddick, and a poem by award-winning Olivia McCannon set to new music. Original melodies sit alongside old words (some from manuscripts stored in a filing cabinet at Halsway, yet to be published) and newly composed instrumentals. Benji Kirkpatrick - voice, bouzouki, guitars, mandolin Saul Rose – voice, melodeons Paul Sartin - voice, oboe, cor anglais, violin User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
