Pixieled - Sproatly Smith [2010]
Wood, leaf, flower, stream, meadow and cove. Nature drenched psych-folk. Unafeared to make unobtrusive use of electronics and judicious vocal samples (thankfully, no lazy Wicker Man-isms here). Water running, bucolic narrative, bowl chimes, tinkling glass and an entrancing version of Clive Palmer's A Leaf Must Fall. Lovely stuff.

This record is harmonizing with tonight's Poacher's Moon most nicely. And a cover of a Gwydion Pendderwen song, no less. Geddorn! Pixieled indeed.
a really beautiful album... thanks alot!
Diolch bro.
Been sort of looking for the band and for the cover of 'A Leaf Must Fall'.
I am not sure but Mary Hopkin may have recorded it way back in the early 1970's.
your most welcome. heard

At least you see who Sproatly Smith are.
I gather that Clive Palmer has an album out but it may be a compilation.
nice.
