Erewyrehve by ADRA
Erewyrehve by ADRA (the experimental music moniker for artist and musician Andy Abbott) is a companion album to the Andrew DR Abbott album of the same name released in 2020. The ADRA version is a parallel journey through the postcapitalist utopia ‘Erewyrehve’, touching on similar motifs, tunes and instrumentation but with the dreaminess dialled up. The album comprises nine solo tracks, some composed and others improvised using a range of instruments including mbira, tongue drum, melodica, percussion, electric and acoustic guitars - all heavily effected, tape-delayed and performed and recorded live without overdubs. Together the nine tracks act as a series of ambient postcards from the always present but just out of reach land of Erewyrehve.
