Tree Trunk vinyl. Catalog Number: CON985LP Color: Brown Format: LP UPC: 5057805526636 In 2018, Kitty Whitelaw of folk jazz duo Sealionwoman had just completed the dark, atmospheric debut album 'Siren' with double bass player Tye McGivern, inspired by the Scottish folk tale of the selkie - a creature that can shapeshift between the forms of human and seal. That was an oceanic album, but Whitelaw's growing fascination with yew trees - and a visit of her own to Crowhurst - saw them return to the land. Five years on, their astonishing second album 'Nothing Will Grow In The Soil' arrives: exploring the role these ancient, strange trees occupy in our culture, spirituality and imaginations. Alongside this, Kitty Whitelaw's forays into the deeper end of her register and the dark churns of McGivern's double bass - strengthened by a raft of digital effects - build a crushing, nightmarish landscape.
