Strawbs

Pastoral English folk with a dark, gothic undercurrent. Acoustic guitars and banjos meet baroque string arrangements and Dave Cousins' unmistakable, textured vibrato.

1969 · Si-Wan Records (2)

A hauntingly beautiful blend of pastoral warmth and gothic narrative tension.

Moments Worth Listening For

The jarring, ecclesiastical weight of the organ introduction on the opening track.

The transition into the sprawling, six-minute folk epic 'The Battle' which closes the record.

The delicate, almost fragile vocal harmonies that anchor the psychedelic-leaning 'Or Am I Dreaming'.
