Thank you to Igloo Magazine for a brilliant review of Plague Dogs by The Heartwood Institute ❤️🙏❤️

Much music is steeped in the history of the place where it was made, and here Jonathan Sharp, the musician behind this project, trawls the borderlands of fiction, imagination, and the real places written about in the Plague Dogs where he went to collect sounds for the album.

The first volume of The Silent Harvest is released on June 5th as a double CD and a digital download. It’s available to preorder from Friday 22nd May.

Over a few short months between 1967 and 1968, folk singers and song collectors Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger recorded a ten LP set of English, Scottish and American variants of traditional folk songs and ballads, released by Argo Records as The Long Harvest.

The Silent Harvest is our tribute to this series of albums. We asked the artists we have featured here – various UK-based modulists, ambientologists and other electronic musicians – to immerse themselves in the arcane and sometimes unsettling imagery of the songs and ballads on The Long Harvest, and to each select one of them as the inspiration for a new composition. This is the result.

All profits from this album will be donated to the Wildlife Trusts. If you want to find out more about the work of the trusts or donate directly, please check out the link here: www.wildlifetrusts.org
