‘…folk-horror of the darkest hue…his voice soaring like Scott Walker… Bird Radio fulfils his early promise as a musical storyteller of rare power.’ Steve Hunt - fRoots.
“A collection of 14 song settings of poems by British writer Walter de la Mare. Bird Radio developed this album with the active support of Aldeburgh Music where he composed and recorded the songs on residency with an ensemble of voice, flute, piano, cello, guitar, bass and percussion.
Bird Radio states, "when you enter into a poem by Walter de la Mare, you are never certain of the boundaries between reality and dream. His poetry covers a broad spectrum of textures and emotions from moments of realization and self-recognition as in ‘The Englishman’ to dark, isolated and nightmarish scenes such as in ‘Drugged’ and reveries such as in ‘Time Passes’".
Oh, Happy England is released in a matt finish limited edition digipak with a 20 page booklet designed by Italian artist Chiara Ambrosio.”
