nouveau ep “Blithewold” (3 covers) :
Eulegy to Lenny Bruce by Tim Hardin (from Nico Chelsea’s Girl)
the summer day reflection’s song by Donovan
theme from the bird with crystal plumage by Ennio Morricone

“FERN KNIGHT from Providence, RI is an ensemble formed from members of the Baker Street Kollektief, fronted by guitarist/cellist and singer Margaret Wienk, who creates delicate, organic acoustic songs orchestrated by layers of accordion/harmonium/electronics drones, pysch-tinged strings, canonic vocals, harp, bells and percussion and singing saw. The resulting sound is a mixture of experimental acid folk and baroque pop, with influences ranging from Marc Bolan to Vashti Bunyan to Ennio Morricone. The music of Fern Knight is a tasteful wedding of medieval/minimalist sensibilities a la Arvo Part with mystical Murakami-esque lyricisms, and, if you choose to follow, will lead you on a faerie-folk romp through otherworldly dark woodlands.”
