Cuffern - Wyrdstone [2009]


West Sussex native Clive Murrell debuts modestly with a 50 CDr format run on Cuffern. Given that two songs have Welsh titles, Y Brawd is guessing that Cuffern refers to a village in Pembrokeshire Wales. Whatever, what we have here is a quietly unassuming acoustic folk album in the pastoral vein and a pagan light patina: Summer Isle meets Camberwick Green.

Apart from a few voice samples, it's an all instrumental affair.  Does not re-wire the wyrd meme like Alasdair Roberts or experiment like Richard Youngs but for all that offers up some more-ish low-key delights.

Shame he didn't check them out with an actual Welsh speaker. 'M Enilla Chyfaill is classic InterTran gobbledygook.

Music's nice though, diolch.
