Karl Culley – Bundle Of Nerves

Recorded over 20 days involving Karl traveling for 6 ½ hours by car and then taking 2 ferries to the island s one and only recording studio. This remote island also boasts one public house, it s own distillery and a population of 200! Karl was joined there by bassist, piano and Marimbula musician Simon Edwards (ex Fairground Attraction, Portishead and David Gray) and percussionist and producer Giles Perring. Between them they conjured up 11 varied tracks with tales of lust, regret, anger, love, death, onanism, dehumanisation and insanity... All aided by the wild wind and occasional wee drams of single malt whisky from the local distillery. The resulting album is a delightful mixture of light and shade all underpinned by Karl Culley s very unique and breathtaking visceral finger-style acoustic guitar playing, compelling tension coupled with the venerable spectral quality of his voice.
