“This extraordinary listening experience comes to an end with ‘Red’ which combines all that has come before - spoken word, hallucinatory ambient sound collages, whistles, tinkles, acoustic guitar, etc. in a hypnotic wyrd folktronica sandwich which will surely feed (and fill) your head with the sounds of yesterday combined with the atmosphere of today’s experimental adventurousness ”

"The pieces here feature evocative poetic lyrics steeped in nature, folklore and myth, populated by such figures as faeries and elves (the brutal, amoral sort from authentic folklore, not the prettied-up Victorian or Disney variety), Odin and his ravens, and the old Horned One, set to inventive musical art experiments."
- Kim Harten, Bliss Aquamarine

"This is the result of three of Scotland’s most endearing and pioneering contemporary folk artists collaborating, and, in short, it’s magical. There aren’t enough words to describe this fully and I suspect that every listener would get something different from it. But what I get is a sense of true beauty, a taste of the air over the mountain and the sound of folk stories and horror and love and just every emotion you can think of cycling across fourteen songs and to be clear, this could have been a triple album and still have been as good. It has what I’d call traditional arrangements and then it has arrangements that use drones, bells, chimes and are messed about with. But whether it’s moonlight or sunshine you like, they are both here and the whole thing needs exploring."

WF 46 - A Lunar Standstill
by David Colohan

supported by 21 fans who also own “Weeping Stones”

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
