Naming Shadows Was Your Existence takes its foot off the gas, as this record regularly does, evoking the more pastoral moments of Birmingham psych-lovers Broadcast, before drones and strings weave a slowly thickening web of soft horror. The Left Outsides’ music generally evokes “chilly fields at dawn” they say, and they’re not wrong.Īll That Remains (Cardinal Fuzz) begins perkily for them, though, with The Unbroken Circle, its marching folk-rock charge tempered by lyrics about how small people are (“we have no control,” Nicholas warns gently, “seasons they change”). Their time with folk music proper has been brief, although their 2009 version of the Gower Wassail is stunning stuff, and the eerie psych-folk mood it conjured has prevailed in their music through the intervening years. The Left Outsides are London-based husband and wife Alison Cotton and Mark Nicholas (the former the viola and harmonium player in mid-noughties folk-rockers The Eighteenth Day of May and John Peel indie favourites Saloon, the latter a multi-instrumentalist who was in Of Arrowe Hill, who call themselves “the most haunted group in England”).
To people who flirt with folk’s alternative edges, it’s more about the rituals of nature, as drones and strings build in tension, as rain falls and birdsong calls. To traditional folk-lovers, it means the maypole and the morris, and the buoyant regional revivals they are enjoying. Folk means different things to different people, especially in the lengthening, brightening days of spring.
