Fact fans will be keen to note that
London band Wolf People are the very
first British band to sign to
Jagjaguwar. The quartet are fronted by
Jack Sharp, a veritable historian of
British rock music made between the
sixties and seventies. Amazingly, the
recordings that make up this album were
all self-recorded in Bedford between
2005 and 2009, but the attention paid to
recreating all the details and recording
quirks of the era is mind-boggling.
Tidings sounds like something from the
prog or Canterbury scenes from forty
years ago - and that's a high
compliment: the level of musicianship
and craft evident on this record are all
too scarce in our digital age, and the
labours of Sharp and his colleagues are
to be highly commended. Kindred spirits
of Voice Of The Seven Woods or Six
Organs Of Admittance, Wolf People take
levels of classic psych-rock devotion to
a whole other level. Four of the tracks
collected here have previously surfaced
via the Finders Keepers offshoot label,
Battered Ornaments, including the still
awesome 'October Fires' and 'Cotton
Strands' - an amazing period piece whose
flurried, Ian Anderson-aping flutes are
very much in-keeping with the codpiece-
wearing spirit of Jethro Tull. Also of
note is that the main songs on the
record are joined via fragmented
interlude tracks, compounding the
illusion that you're playing back this
most wonderfully anachronistic of
records via a haunted old tape machine.
Ace.
