Ali Murray - Further Still

 

(Dead Forest Records, 2013)

This album is dedicated to the memory of Ted.  

Read an amazing full-length album review of 'Further Still' written by Allister Thompson for Make Your Own Taste :

''Enter the sad and beautiful world of Ali Murray. This is raw dark minimalist psych-folk, to a subtle backdrop of ethereal ambient soundscapes and pastoral field recordings, with Murray's breathy vocals sitting nicely in the dreamy soundscape. In between these beautiful poignant songs of loss, regret and existential sadness - you can hear distant ocean waves, lonely winds, raindrops falling and birds singing. Everything seems to be shrouded in a quiet ghostly mist. This is comfort music for lost lonely souls.'' 
- Fog Songs

''Ethereal folk from the edge of the world'' 
- Allister Thompson, Make Your Own Taste  

''A study in whispers and atmospheres. each song begins and ends with what feels like the sound of mist and lonely seaside breezes, and then the delicate guitar, breathy layers of voices, and dark lyrics of ali murray, accompanied at times by fluttering mandolin or yawning keyboards, make their way in. recorded on the isle of lewis in northern scotland, the album sounds like i imagine that place to be. dark, misty and lonesome.''
