“Beautiful, witty, baroque pop ... very special indeed” – Lauren Laverne, BBC 6 Music
Lose yourself in the forest of... Fell, the musical alias of Nicolas Burrows - a London-based artist, illustrator, and creator of sun-kissed psychedelic pop dreaminess. ‘For The Pickling’, his Lost Map debut, is a lilting, woozy number, that transports the listener to a half-forgotten childhood summer and back again, in under 3 minutes.
Originally hailing from Blackpool, Lancashire, Nicolas Burrows cut his teeth in the early-00’s, playing in bands around the then-burgeoning Leeds scene (Crayon, All My Friends Are Dead, Vest For Tysso, Bear Driver, Super Eight), before starting to create his own project under the name Glaciers. In 2016 he mutated into Fell, recording There Still Are Mysteries, an album of haunting autumnal pop with Stereolab’s Andy Ramsay in the production chair.
Mallows Marsh is Fell’s second full-length album – an ambitious, patchwork record full of mood shifts, flicking about lyrically through Anglo-Saxon healing charms, pastoral horror, horticultural murder-ballads, mid-Brexit snapshots and ruminations on personal myth-making. Sonically it’s full of wobbly guitars and woozy organs, with chamber-pop arrangements giving way to krautrock, raga and drone-inspired passages. Imagine 70s west coast psychedelia woven into eccentric English pastoral pop. Think XTC meets Love and Mayo Thompson. Produced once again by Dan Blackett, the album features Welsh artist Bedwyr Wiliams and master saxophonist Steve Hamilton (Madness, Noel Gallagher), with arrangements by Sean O’ Hagan (The High Llamas).
This show mark the release of Fell's new album Mallows Marsh on Lost Map
