| Mellow Candle's Alison O'Donnell joins David Colohan & Steven Collins on United Bible Studies' Strange Is The Coastline album due September 5th. |
Here's the scoop...
With an extensive back catalogue of varied recordings, their latest offering, Strange Is The Coastline (out September 5th from the UK-based label Talking Elephant Records), is an album of original folk-rock songs with artwork by Dom Cooper, also an occasional UBS participant at any given time. Songs are from David and Alison, arranged by Steven.
David’s songs:
Gather Words For The Fire, In The Arms Of Lewes, and Til The Worm Turns all reside within a mythical Albion, that is nonetheless only a step removed from the real world and the messiness and joys it holds. Friendships played out between the shadows of chalk giants and winding village lanes. Chasing the sounds of drumming deep within the hills...
Alison writes about:
Ireland through the years on Roar No More, and of the iconic statue, Nerano Sailor, who guides seafarers in her hometown. There’s also a song about her love of the Leigh Folk Festival on Old Legra and a song about choosing the right or wrong path in Lilac Haze Of Lavender. This song also produced the title of the album, a reference to the chaos caused by climate change. There are two songs about the machinations of a stalker from back in the day on Hoist The Drawbridge and You Often Hid and a Victorian era murder ballad, Viewing The Waterhen. The first song on the album, Circles And Chambers celebrates the band’s long history of exploring ancient, sacred sites whilst meandering on mini-tours.
United Bible Studies' new album Strange Is The Coastline is released on September 5 via Talking Elephant Records. Listen to tracks and get a copy via Bandcamp right here.
Watch Alison perform a United Bible Studies set with David Colohan & Steven Collins at the Leigh-On-Sea Folk Festival on June 25, 2023 below.
