Just discovered this wonderful folk experimentation from Finglebone and feel they are well worth checking out.

Finglebone reared it’s ugly head in the mid-nineties and started life as acoustic doodlings and amplified improvisations, recorded on two tape players as a basic multi-track system untill enough money was saved to buy a Yamaha MT50 four-track and microphones.

The band consisted .. friends, adam varney (guitar/samples) James Smith (all-things percussion) Initial recordings involved four microphones strategically placed around an unusually shaped bedroom. The result was a suprisinlgy good lo-fi sound and about 100 60minute tapes of music .

I would later overdub some extras by ping-ponging tracks to build the songs. we are currently working on a more ambient, organic folk based sound, with the recent addition of Naomi Henstridge on vocals. Harmonies, soundscapes, folk stories, textures and ambience defines finglebone’s sound.

2010 will see Jason flory, become a collaborator and honorary member thanks to the internet. He will be supplying all manner of drumming all the way from New mexico. We are also working on short films to accompany our music, which we will project onto screens behind us on stage, when we get set up for some gigs… – Finglebone
