Forsooth, the new album from forest of fools takes you on a symphonic adventure of galactic proportions.
Their fusion of traditional instruments with funked-up, high tempo beats takes a sonic leap forward from their already well-established Jump-up Folk stylings and charts a course into the depths of the musical unknown.
Where no single tune is exactly as it seems, this is Acoustic Dance Music but not as we know it!
In the blink of an eye, you’ll be whisked from the courtyards of Medieval England, to an underground warehouse party. 180 BPM D&B and Jungle Drum sections masterfully interlaced with African Percussion set the tempo for a high-energy supernova of effects-laden trance-folk Melodeon and psychedelic Lead Guitar.
Harmonious funk-laced Bass Guitar sits alongside didge-inspired, multi-phonic Sousaphone Brass to create a sub-bass frenzy with serious groove.
The result is an album which is as ground-breaking as it is sonically beautiful; a true musical odyssey for the 21st Century.
Forsooth, the rumours are true, an album has finally arrived and it’s something else magical!
The band will be live this evening (Monday, May 1) at MK11 in Kiln Farm before heading off on a tour of the summer’s best known festivals.
Leave the sofa and go investigate.
