Hello,
We're happy to tell you that United Bible Studies/Jozef van Wissem collaboration has seen the light of day at last and is on sale now. This is a numbered edition of 300 LPs in silk-screened covers. Each LP includes a download coupon.
You can listen to a preview here: http://soundcloud.com/desertedvillage/united-bible-studies-jozef-van
The album title 'Downland' is a play both on van Wissem's Lowlands home, and the Renaissance Lute composer John Dowland, rumoured to have been born in Ireland. The seeds of this collaboration were sown in late 2007, when United Bible Studies were part of the bill for van Wissem's first Irish concert. He was particularly taken with Paul Condon's bass playing and eventually wrote a piece with it in mind. Van Wissem began recording tracks for United Bible Studies to overdub and the postal collaboration began in earnest in 2009.
"Inspired collaborative LP between avant lute player Jozef Van Wissem and Irish apocalyptic folk outfit United Bible Studies. At points the sound here reflects on Current 93 circa central recordings like Of Ruine Or Some Blazing Starre with an olde world folk appeal married to acoustic drone environs but with a more avant/minimal stance that makes obsessive use of repeating melodies. When the female vocals come in it feels like a baroque update of Trees’ classic Garden Of Jane Delawney or even some of the Caedmon or Stone Angel recordings" - David Keenan, Volcanic Tongue
