Ullswater EP by Silverlode
Welcome to The Lake District. Famous for its lakes, forests and fells, rugged beauty, vivid scenery, timeless landscapes and brutal weather in all seasons. Home of Ullswater.
Captured here is the experience of being hemmed in by close mountainous ranges under wind-stricken canvas for a grim week spent in fear of an all-pervasive and eldritch evil, looming in the very core of nature. Trespassing in the secret places of the world.
Harking back to the singles of the 1990s, this EP offers various parallels of this song. Included is the original A Lion Walks Among Us recording (2017), but this five-track EP leads with the new No Longer Gold Version and brings a much more direct and aggressive take on the song with new vocals, guitars and bass recorded in the first national lockdown. Similarly, two remixes made in the same lockdown period by Monkey Finger and Farming Community after a shout out online isolated and bored-at-home friends of the band. To really bring home the sense of dread, Doc Neale’s close narration works wonders and is a departure for Silverlode – a truly independent take on the song where the language of the song really gets to shine.
