Submerged by Cousin Silas
Abandoned villages, for me, are fascinating places. The lost history, the forgotten lives and the long gone murmer of rural life. What I find more intriguing, however, are those select few villages that have been lost with coastal erosion, or abandoned due to the valley where they were situated being 'converted' into reservoirs. In some cases parts of the buildings occasionally, during droughts or low tides, emerge. Urban legends of bells tolling from the old church, be that submerged or managing to breath again as the water slowly recedes.
All seven tracks are named, and partially inspired, by submerged villages. Obviously there are many more across the UK, but most featured are relatively 'local', or at least in Yorkshire and there's varying degrees of information about them on the Internet. Who'd have thought you could learn history whilst submerging yourself in music? I'd like to thank Si Rouse for the photo for the cover.
