Stornoway - 'Dig The Mountain!’ 140g eco-mix vinyl LP.

For ‘Dig The Mountain!’, the trio all contributed to the record from their own locations: Brian in southwest Wales, Oli in southeast London and Jon in Oxford, with Mike Lindsay of acid folk pioneers Tunng on production duties. Mike Monaghan (Gaz Coombes, Saint Etienne) contributes drums throughout replacing Oli’s brother Rob who isn’t part of this new chapter of Stornoway having started a new life in America. The album is packed with inspiring collaborations. Sam Lee features on the sinuous, woodsy folk-funk of ‘The Navigator’; Chinese musician Yijia Tu contributes gorgeous vocals to Stornoway’s rootsy take on Björk’s ‘It’s Not Up To You’; Guillemot Fyfe Dangerfield sings on ‘Anwen’, a song inspired by Brian’s daughter’s joyful dancing; former Black Mountains poet Paul Henry wrote the lyrics for ‘Kicking The Stone’; and Gareth Bonello (The Gentle Good) wrote the original version of ‘The Fisherman’ before it was reinvented by Stornoway.
