SLOW TREE’s blissfully somnambulant soundscapes are the work of Neil Hamilton Wilkinson and Abi Fry – two residents of the neighbouring Isle of Skye, and members of indomitable pastoral-rock titans, British Sea Power. This final act in our first series of V I S I T A T I O N S captures the drawing light and darkened heavens of the mid-November mists under which it was recorded. Across four tracks of cinematic dream-folk, Slow Tree manipulate the natural reverb of the island’s caves, allowing hushed vocals, ethereal piano and sweeping viola to glide alongside the strains of swirling birds in song. “Let’s go on a journey to the last island of beauty”
