"A drone-folk combo of David Colohan (Agitated Radio Pilot, United Bible Studies) and Zachary Corsa (Nonconnah, Lost Trail, Yearlings), this is less of a release and more of a ritual. Spoken word vocals about hollow promises and a benign, turning sun are soundtracked by radio samples, synth noises, acoustic pianos and drones that combine to sound like an alternative soundtrack to A Simple Plan."
- Christopher Owens, Predominance 34, The Pensive Quill

"A Shadow Homeland sees Colohan and Corsa expose the kind of folk drone that feeds into the morbid darkness this time of year brings."
- Simon Kirk, Sun 13

"the soundtrack of everyday sadness and life in all its Technicolor greyness; a drone of a shallow puddle of rain inviting droplets of shared hopes and wishes; a glisten of the magic that occurs in everybody’s existence even if only very occasionally, and very occasionally sometimes can be enough."
- BRIAN ‘BORDELLO’ SHEA, Monolith Cocktail

"A rather warm, rather quiet piano and sound texture thing, a combination of David Colohan (Agitated Radio Pilot, United Bible Studies) and Zachary Corsa (Nonconnah, Lost Trail, Yearlings), and as somone else said, “this is less of a release and more of a ritual”. Mostly a rather haunting instrumental whisper, spoken word vocals now and then, words about hollow promises and a turning sun detailed by radio samples, foundsound, field noise synth noises, acoustic instruments and almost fragile drones that all come together in a rather quietly beautiful way."

Look To The North is the "dronefolk" duo comprising David Colohan (Agitated Radio Pilot, Raising Holy Sparks, United Bible Studies) and Zachary Corsa (Nonconnah, Lost Trail, Pines, Yearlings).

Recorded in 2021, "A Shadow Homeland" is 4 tracks of atmospheric other-worldly introspection; melancholic ambience interspersed with sparse piano, spoken word and field-recordings, creating an immersive transcendental twilit experience. Beautiful.

WF 46 - A Lunar Standstill
by David Colohan

supported by 18 fans who also own “A Shadow Homeland”

Having followed David for a while, I must say he never ceases to intrigue, in the best possible way. It's uncanny how he has almost reinvented folk music by applying modern tropes with traditional instruments. Alongside of all of this are field recordings which give a sense of locale and ancient history to his works. Magick. Michael J Bates

I love this whole album but Piezoelectric Shores is cemented in my mind as being synonymous with 2023. I love it when music can put its stamp on a period in your life, where you were, what you were doing and how you felt. Magic. Stu Wood
