There's a restlessness amongst Scotland's indie-folk artists of
late. The Pictish Trail (aka Johnny Lynch) has shacked up with
London alt-folkster Adem for the 80s-referencing dance dynamics of
Silver Columns; Lynch's Fence Collective co-founder, King Creosote,
recently collaborated with Edinburgh's Meursault and Brighton's
Animal Magic Tricks on the Cold Seeds album. And now Creosote, real
name Kenny Anderson, has emerged again as a member of The Burns
Unit, a supergroup of sorts also featuring ex-Delgado Emma Pollock,
Karine Polwart, Sushil Dade/Future Pilot A.K.A. and more. But while
these relationships may seem rather incestuous, there's no doubt
that the system's getting results.
The Burns Unit is a more complete, slick-sounding offering than
KC's Cold Seeds. Whereas that record, released in July, was a
largely improvised affair, Side Show will slip nicely beside those
old Delgados records you don't play nearly enough. It's supremely
polished of first impression, but also offers a far deeper
experience than collaborative albums of its kind typically do. This
stems from the detail in the songs containedthough several players
appear throughout, half of these tracks are written by just a pair
of musicians, really opening up each piece's heart. The exceptions
are usually more rambunctious and loose of feel, all eight members
lending input to the toe-tapping Send Them Kids to Warthe track is
one of three to feature MC Soom T, who's previously worked with The
Orb and Asian Dub Foundation.
While Side Show's tracks are varied of style, the boisterous
often bookended by arrangements of tender emoting, drummer Mattie
Foulds' production keeps every potentially distracting diversion in
check with a mix (done at Chem 19, alongside celebrated producer
Paul Savage) that allows highlights to shine but never detract from
the enjoyment of this album as a whole. Consistency, it seems, is
paramount, and while The Burns Unit's members don't quite chip in
evenly, everybody's contributions are given the space they need to
sing out from these never-cluttered compositions. Worthy of
singling out, though, are a couple of real show-stoppers: Future
Pilot A.K.C., which sees Anderson and Dade weave a tapestry of
engrossing melancholy, and the Pollock-fronted You Need Me to Need
This (written with Skydiggers' Michael Johnson), perhaps the most
perplexingly beautiful-yet-bombastic number she's sung on since the
days of The Great Eastern.
Excellently conceived, brilliantly executed and splendidly
presented, Side Show is a little wonder that's considerably more
than the sum of its admittedly excellent parts. Fingers crossed
that its makers turn their occasional live performances into a
proper tour, soon. --Mike Diver

JASMINE PENDER (aka solo artist Rotten Bliss) and highly regarded post-punk legend JOWE HEAD (Swell Maps, Television Personalities). Their collaboration is one of equal but balancing elemental forces, like hot engine oil poured into freezing water. Their debut is intoxicating, brewed from their diseased imaginations into a strange synthesis of psych-folk, punk sleaze and ambient drone.

Ontario folk band Tanglefoot was formed in 1980 by three
schoolteachers on a mission to bring Canadian history to life for
their students. Dressing up in period costumes, the band acted out
historical dramas while performing traditional Canadian folk music
and eventually went on to write material of their own. WAY MORE
LIVE captures Tanglefoot in a trio of concerts recorded live at
Toronto's Flying Cloud Folk Club in May 2003, performing a
selection of songs that includes "Radioman," "Closer to the Ocean,"
"McCurdy's Boy," "Traighli Bay," and many more. These concerts
marked the departure of founding member Joe Grant and introduced
new fiddler Terry Snider.
