Fourth Page: Charlie Beresford, Carolyn Hume, Peter Marsh, Paul May - The Forest From Above (LEO RECORDS November 2018)


It's been a long time since the release of the first CD by Fourth Page (CD LR 619 Blind Horizons). Surreal, mystical and hypnotic, the music is like nothing you've heard before. It breathes and pulsates, it is scary and beautiful at the same time, yet it is utterly original. This new album covers a lot of ground from hushed ambience to immersive, trance-like grooves, folkish ballads and restrained bursts of abstract clutter. It is luminous, dark, seductive and edgy. The line-up is still the same: Charlie Beresford - voice and guitar, Carolyn Hume - keyboards, Peter Marsh - bass, Paul May drums.
