Original label page: betwixtbetweentapes.bandcamp.com/album/betwixt-between-7

This is our half of the EP released on Jacken's Betwixt and Between Label in April 2020, the other side was inhabited by C Joynes. Downloading the tracks from here comes with a scan of the liner notes, initially included with the limited run of tapes.

The Shovel Dance Collective are a newly formed group of nine musicians exploring the folk traditions of these islands (and beyond). While nurturing the history of the source material, the collective brings to it sensibilities drawn from drone, improvisation, and metal. In so doing, they aim to uncover proto-feminist narratives and queer histories, and to make heard the voices of the working people that created and create the wealth of the world.

The Betwixt & Between 7 mascot is the chimaera: a hybrid and amalgamated creature of Greek mythology, mother of the sphinx and the Nemean lion, slain by Bellerophon and Pegasus. The cover image is a linocut after a plate in the Monstrorum historia by Ulisse Aldrovandi, while the companion print is inspired by marginalia in the Ormesby Psalter.

Shovel Dance Collective are Alex McKenzie, Daniel S. Evans, Fidelma Hanrahan, Jacken Elswyth, Joshua Barfoot, Mataio Austin Dean, Nick Granata, Oliver Hamilton, and Tom Hardwick-Allan. The tracks were recorded in October 2020 in Fidelma’s living room.

Engineered and mixed by Mike O’Malley.

Mastered by Rupert Clervaux at Cala Deia

about

Shovel Dance Collective London, UK

United by a passion for the traditional music of the British Isles, Ireland and beyond we are committed to folk music not as an artifact to be unearthed, but as a communal activity - inviting to those it speaks to. A kind of musique boue, a patchwork stitched together and rearranged, holding the voices of the oppressed and those who, by their labour, create the wealth of the world. ... more
