Spirogyra
Bells, Boots And Shambles
A haunting, emotionally intense masterpiece of progressive folk, Bells, Boots and Shambles blends medieval-inspired acoustic textures with bleak, apocalyptic lyricism. Barbara Gaskin's ethereal vocals float over sparse instrumentation, shifting from fragile beauty to unsettling darkness. Written amid the band's dissolution, the album's tone is one of despair, loss, and transcendence - a stark, poetic farewell that stands as one of the most powerful, tragic statements in British folk-rock.
