Stick in the Wheel

Taken from their latest album Tonebeds for Poetry, Stick in the Wheel have shared an accompanying video for Long the Day – somewhere between Flotus-era Lambchop and the hypnagogic avant-pop of Dean Blunt.

On Tonebeds For Poetry, Stick in the Wheel cast their net wider delivering sounds you might not expect to find on a folk album. They remain one of the most ground-breaking and unpredictable acts in any of the countless genres they move between.

Stick In The Wheel announce a new mixtape release, Tonebeds for Poetry, with first track The Cuckoo. The album explores lost civilisations, inertia, beats music, sludge, drone, glitch and the sounds of the city, held together with ancient word-glue, repurposed to deliver vital, urgent messages for now.

Stick in the Wheel announce London Show on 20th November and share a live video for ‘Villon Song’, one of the most popular songs from their current album ‘Hold Fast’.

Hold Fast reflects Stick In The Wheel’s acceptance of diverse musical forms and their radical desire to change things for the better. An urgent and quite brilliant album.

In the latest ‘In the Archives with…’ video series from EFDSS, Nicola Kearey and Ian Carter, from Stick in the Wheel, go crate-digging in the Cecil Sharp House archives.
