Tomorrow Held [CD]

Tomorrow Held is the visionary new album by twenty-something mould-breakers and conservatoire-trained virtuosos, fiddle player Owen Spafford and guitarist Louis Campbell. Eight largely instrumental tracks that hold space, resolve into mystery, and fold in elements of jazz, post-rock and chamber music while raiding the folk music toolbox. Call it what you want: post-folk. Trad-noir. Folk nihilism. Then know that Spafford Campbell are blazing a trail that erases genre and finds gold in the embers. Forget about tomorrow, they say. Welcome to the now.
