Whistling Arrow | Bandcamp

In September, we premiered the track ‘Forking Paths’ from Whistling Arrow‘s self-titled debut LP. Today we have the pleasure of streaming the album in its entirety, ahead of its release on November 22nd via God Unknown Records. The album is made up of seven incredible tracks representing “a deeply empathic meeting of unique musical voices: evoking a musical territory of the ancient and the modern, earthen and concrete.”

“Whistling Arrow is the debut collaboration between critically acclaimed composer and performer Laura Cannell, This Heat/Camberwell Now founder and seasoned composer/improviser Charles Hayward, multi-disciplinary musician Andre Bosman and prepared guitar minimalists Ex-Easter Island Head (Benjamin D. Duvall, Benjamin Fair and Jonathan Hering).”

“Brought together by a shared bill on Cannell’s Arts Council-funded Modern Ritual tour, the six musicians convened for a single session in Liverpool’s Parr Street Studios in October 2017. Recording live in the room with few preconceptions and a warm appreciation of each others’ work, the sextet improvised on violins, recorders, drums, piano, electronics, prepared guitars, percussion and voice.”
