Description
Age of Not Believing - Rainbow Plumage, Blue Shadows and Emptiness
"It’s so joyful! Amazing songs and arrangements and everything!" - Michael Price, Composer (Sherlock; Unforgotten)
Mysterious portals and secret entrance ways into magical other worlds – such are the wonders of childhood imagination, often sourced from the fantastical books, films and cartoons that once fuelled our daydreams and nightmares. This is the territory inhabited by Age of Not Believing.
Named after a line from C.S. Lewis’ The Silver Chair, their new album Rainbow Plumage, Blue Shadows and Emptiness is an immersive world of compelling field recordings – wind-blown church bells, eerily echoing halls, distant chatter – atmospheric vignettes and disarming, often heart-warming songs.
The elements fuse into an ageless story of light and shade, redemption and mystery - appealing as much to adherents of Angela Carter, Roald Dahl or Philip Pullman as to fans of Tom Waits singing ‘Bend Down the Branches’, Sun Ra’s reading of ‘Pink Elephants on Parade’ on Hal Willner’s Stay Awake Disney film music tribute or even the fantasy world conjured by the late Jim Henson in his 1986 musical, Labyrinth.
