Translucent Green. Catalog Number: KSA008/B9 Color: Green Format: 10" An EP of collaborations with folk singer Douglas E. Powell selected from Keith Seatman's last two albums. It opens with a remix of the title track Broken Folk by stalwarts of British pastoral electronica Belbury Poly. Melancholic and subtly psychedelic, these songs are redolent of supernatural short stories and winter afternoons out on English landscapes. They are dark rustic reveries, occupying the overlapping territory between haunted electronica and wyrd folk. Seatman builds a dense collage of electronics, fragmented melody and found sound, around which Powell weaves his dreamlike lyrics. The tracks have been remastered for the EP by Belbury Poly's Jim Jupp and the 10" is pressed on translucent green vinyl with sleeve art by Jim Jupp.
