\"California,<\/a><\/p>\n

‘Part balladry, part ambient, part soundscape – think of Nick Drake’s Pink Moon as processed by Brian Eno.’ – Brainwashed, US <\/p>\n

‘A haunting and delicate album.’ – Exclaim, Canada <\/p>\n

Top 5 in the Toronto Sun Anti-Hit List\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Originally released in 2002, California, Norfolk was the debut album from Tim Bowness (No-Man\/Henry Fool) and Peter Chilvers (Brian Eno\/Karl Hyde). <\/p>\n

Burning Shed’s first ever official cd release, available online only, the album quickly sold out and has been available for inflated prices on eBay for the best part of a decade. <\/p>\n

Combining electronic textures and found sounds with panoramic arrangements and poignant lyrics, the album’s synthesis of singer-songwriter intimacy and imaginative production values distinctively echoes aspects of The Blue Nile, Steve Reich, Laurie Anderson, Nick Drake, Peter Gabriel, and Brian Eno’s work. <\/p>\n

From the orchestral sweep of Hostage to the cinematic ambition of the 10 minute Winter With You via the slow-building intensity of Days Turn Into Years, the album forms a coherent suite of musical short stories that rates amongst the duo’s strongest work. <\/p>\n

Ballad Electronica, 21st Century Ambient Folk, or perhaps the soundtrack to the best film you’ve never seen, this 2013 double cd reissue features the original album (re-mastered by Michael Bearpark) plus Overstrand (a collection of alternate versions), unreleased material earmarked for a follow-up album, and an EP’s worth of live performances. <\/p>\n

Presented in a deluxe dvd-sized digi-book, which includes sleeve notes by Tim Bowness and Peter Chilvers in addition to previously unseen artwork by Carl Glover. <\/p>\n
