Dreamy psychedelic folk. Four tracks inspired by nature, the Earth, the magic of the land, and the mysteries of the universe. Sewell & The Gong is a collaboration between Matt Sewell—an illustrator and writer known for his work on album covers for Drumtalk and for compiling albums with British journalist John Savage—and Chris Tate, a member of D_rradio known for his dreamy ambient and electronica music, as well as his releases under the name Score.
Track List
For BiD006 we're very pleased to announce that renowned Artist Matt Sewell has agreed to release his fledgling audio project, Sewell & The Gong on the label.
4 guitar led mystical meanderings and deep meditations of cosmic transcendental psychedelic folk.
Matt's acoustic guitar has been a fixture of his studio for many years, although nobody would ever of known as he kept it pretty much to himself.
Over the years he developed a self taught, repetitive, finger picked style in hushed tones to not bother anybody. Just a quiet little part of his studio practise, calming looping melodies.
Like his art, his music is very much inspired by nature, earth magic and cosmic wanderings. His 'A Crushing Glow' compilations are pretty much a defining list of inspirations.
Never heard by anybody outside of the family home that all changed after Matt started working with Newcastle based multi-instrumentalist, fellow pathfinder and astral traveler Chris Tate.
Combining forces Chris helped build a beautiful world for Matt's melodies to wander in, deep and lush and always, always positive.
It only feels right that this music now gets to stretch its legs in the outside world...>
