Was Ist Das? A completely different version of their debut album. Kind of disorientating to hear because its 40% familiar. I think this is the better version but because they're so radically different, I'd say you want to own both. Favorite track: Apple Tree Man.

vykr Yipee!!! I had, in all honesty, forgotten all about this band. Came across them accidently and, as soon as i saw this their entire catalogue played in my head. Bought this and will certainly buy more. Thank you 'Bandcamp' for restoking my memory. Favorite track: A Lyke Wake Dirge.

about

Garland Sessions is a reworked version of the debut Owl Service album, A Garland of Song (2007). AGOS was essentially a collection of roughly recorded demos which didn't come close to realising the grand new folk vision of its creator Steven Collins. Fast forward 5 years and Collins finally felt able to do the album justice by returning to the original session recordings and reworking the tracks into something much closer to what he originally had in mind. Garland Sessions includes all 13 songs from the original album completely remixed and partially re-recorded, plus a further 9 songs which were originally intended for the album but were left off due to various constraints.
