'What's Not Enough', like everything else, needs Reimagining. Enter Peter Zummo, Leafcutter John and Ibibio Sound Machine. 'WNEAT: Reimagined' came from a call out to your, our Bandcamp followers, on what you'd like to see during lock-down. One suggestion was to open up one of the tunes for remixes, and through chance encounters (Ibibio Sound Machine), a new virtual recording friendship (Leafcutter John) and my continued musical friendship with Peter Zummo, this wonderful EP was born. Each artist began with the same tune, and have heard and created three entirely different pieces of music. I have really enjoyed listening to these and I hope you enjoy listening too.

Bex Burch — There is only love and fear. 2023 : International Anthem.

Flock released a version of Terry Riley's "In C" last year

UK supergroup Flock return with their anticipated sophomore album ‘Flock II’. Comprising an exceptional line-up featuring Bex Burch (fresh from her debut solo album on International Anthem), Sarathy Korwar, Tamar Osborn (Collocutor, Dele Sosimi, Unknown To Known), Danalogue (The Comet Is Coming / Soccer96) and Al MacSween (Kefaya), the new recordings showcase Flock’s ability to push the boundaries of the composition process and craft unique tracks based on their collective spirit. Recorded amidst the serene landscapes of the Welsh countryside during 2022, 'Flock II' emerges as a compelling departure from their debut album, which was captured in a single day at London's Fish Factory. Nestled within the enchanting environs of the Druidstone, a mystical coastal retreat in West Wales, the group embarked on an immersive week-long recording session. Here, they crafted unique "jump-off" devices for each musical piece, drawing inspiration from unconventional structures and atmospheres. From diagrams utilising shapes and repeated patterns to a revolving lamp throwing out dappled light and a mobile app creating intense strobe effects in front of each musician, each device set a state of mind and a unique approach to their compositions. Studio Owz, housed in a converted country church, provided an ideal setting for their creative exploration. The resulting compositions, ranging from intense to hypnotic, invite listeners to embark on a deeply personal voyage, weaving their own narratives amidst the ethereal soundscape. The fruits of a strong and joyful bond between five of the UK’s finest musicians, ‘Flock II’ stands as another essential recording without genre or category.
