Songs of Green Pheasant

8th November 2007

This post was written by Benji

I wanted to bring your attention to the dreamy, ethereal collective Songs of Green Pheasant and their new album Gyllyng Street. These Icelanders really have a knack for capturing a bewildered spirit in their music. Although short in length, Gyllyng Street makes up for it with its sheer loveableness. These tracks are achingly sweet, nostalgic in a sense, and conjure up images of both breathless foaming seas on an early dusk as Old Man Winter makes his way into town. I’d highlight some tracks for you, but the best way to really experience this music is to hear it.

Go and get Gyllyng Street.

Listen to “Boats” (4.9/5)

Listen to “King Friday” (4.6/5)

Songs of Green Pheasant are not from Iceland! They are from Yorkshire. Wakefield to be exact. And I drew the illustration in the CD sleeve.

And SOGPs first album has a picture of mine on the cover. Their EP Aerial Days has a cover by the songwriter in the band Duncan Sumpner. Also the latest British edition of MACuser magazine has an article about me in it in which I talk about the whole SOGP thing. http://mikaldyas.com/mikalmac.jpg
Great to read you enjoy the music. I am sure we will see them grow into something really special.
