 September 17, 2007 | Fernwood
We've had the privilege of a sneak preview of an acoustic project by Fernwood, the collaborative efforts of two veteran string musicians and film score contributors, Gayle Ellett and Todd Montgomery from Malibu, California. Between the two of them, instruments featured include an intriguing mix of guitar, Irish and Greek bouzouki, sitar, mandolin, ruan, oud, cumbus, harmonium, guitar, mandolin, gimbri, rababah, up-right bass and Rhodes piano.
According to their MySpace page, they describe themselves as "Experimental, Folk, and Psychedelic," and this pretty well nails it. The 10 song demo we received is absolutely enchanting, a brilliant mix of interesting textures and layers of exotic acoustic timbres.
We'll keep you posted on the release of the new CD, but until then, visit their MySpace page for a tantalizing taste of otherworldly aural delight.
