Our Song of the Day is from Greanvine which features Owl Service members Diana Collier and Steven Collins (often augmented by fellow Owl Nancy Wallace). Remember Tomorrow is from their forthcoming album ‘Mark You That & Noat You Wel‘ (STR-013) which showcases their no-boundaries creations:
Diana Collier and Steven Collins formed Greanvine as the Owl Service went into hibernation in early 2012 with nothing more in mind than playing songs they’re passionate about purely for the love of it. Whereas their previous band had increasingly sought inspiration from traditional British folksong, Greanvine were determined to set themselves no such boundaries and over the past 2 years they’ve honed a repertoire which includes songs by Iron Maiden, The Velvet Underground, Baby Dee, Lal Waterson, Donovan, Low, Galaxie 500 and Vashti Bunyan among others. On the occasions they have strayed into trad terrority they’ve used synths and stark, heavy electric guitars for their accompaniment.
Mark You That & Noat You Wel features 12 songs on a single CD-r in a handmade gatefold card sleeve with artwork by John Bently. It’s available to pre-order until May Day, it will then be pressed to the exact number of pre-orders and released on June 2nd 2014. No digital release, no re-press…
