After yesterday’s marine life-inspired music by Cosmo Sheldrake, further stimulus about the natural world comes from the string and drone style of Newcastle-upon-Tyne experimental folk artist Jayne Dent from the forthcoming album RPG. The song is about being overcome by the sensory experiences, of nature, the elements and desire. Inspired by spending time at midsummer festival in Denmark, when the huge bonfires lit along the coast stayed alight through torrential rain and dense sea fog, the coming together of all these elemental forces, feeling connected to this seasonal ritual, and connecting it to the English folk traditions explored in May carols which often celebrate desire, lust and love alongside celebrations of nature and the land.
The music video comes from working folk musician and dancer Mark Insley, who choreographed a dance in the Cotswold Morris tradition and made handkerchiefs in the Morris style featuring elemental symbols.
RPG is released on 7 July. To explore more by Me Lost Me, see also the other embedded links below. Out on Upset The Rhythm
