WITHERED HAND & A SINGER OF SONGS

An ecological farm in the middle of nowhere. Dry wind hitting the mountains. Dogs taking a lie-down in the sun. And horses. Always. This is the landscape that the Barcelona label Son Canciones chose to leave Scotsman Dan Willson (Withered Hand) and Belgian Lieven Scheerlinck (A Singer of Songs) to their luck in September 2016. They gave themselves a week to get acquainted, become friends, write six songs, record them and, incidentally, to plant garlic The result is Among Horses I (Son Canciones, 2017), an EP full of indie-folk that smells of earth and the rain that never comes.
