Foundland (Rachael Dadd & Ichi)

Bristol-based member of the alt.folkish Fence Collective, Rachael Dadd marries heartfelt skewed laments – redolent of Vashti Bunyan – with DIY recording trickery. A regular Japan visitor, she returns here this May with steel pan-playing husband Ichi to mark the release of In Our Hands We've Got Light, a 10" recorded either side of the birth of their son. Support for this date at Vacant comes from sweetly melodic duo PoPoyans and Yok.
