John Cunningham joined Hot Puma Records with his sixth album under his arm!
It is not too much to say that fans have been waiting for it. After almost fifteen years since the release of Happy-Go-Unlucky, here it is. Fell is John Cunningham's sixth studio album. You will probably understand why you had to wait for so long once you listen to it. All these years weren't wasted. These are songs from northern England, born from the crags and the fells of a landscape where poetry grows like wildflowers. A place where the antiquated is prophetic, where the still is still in fashion. A wide-eyed country, where the fraying edges of the mountains are irritated by tides of the climate change of business. A country at the mercy of its own beauty, with ice-age genes, drawing friend and foe indiscriminately. Born from the wide sky, scarred by a moving thunder scraping its nails across the slate. A companion to ambiguity, to the practice of forgetting by heart. An acquaintance of the weather. A land where the poetic has one last place left to hide. A place of grumbling walls and dry stone disposition, where lives a silent God in a silent rock.
