„I step into disintegration, on the shore of new and old. Like a Saxon offering to the marsh.”
None More Records present Weathered People, the second album on NMR from experimental singer-songwriter Joe Woodham. Building and evolving from his previous record Worldwide Weather, Weathered People was inspired by a continuing fascination with the weather and pondering on the effect it has on us collectively. The album explores themes of psychology, wellbeing, spirituality, geology and deep time whilst always trying to be grounded and rooted by nature. And maybe you can meditate on Weather Manipulation as weapon against humanity?
Inspired by the space and depth of compositions by the likes of Brian Eno and Terry Riley mixed in alongside the vocal layering of Judee Sill, the groove of TNT-era Tortoise and the songwriting approach of John Marytn and Nick Drake, the album was recorded at Joe’s home in Sussex and on location using a hybrid of analogue and digital recording. Joe says of the process “the songs are profoundly embellished by the talents of many musicians I admire and are fortunate to call friends. I mostly created the skeleton of each song at home and then redacted parts until it was ready to bring to the guest instrumentalists’ space. There, they heard the project for the first time and were limited to two or three takes, enough to capture the essence of their initial reaction. Like a sonic archaeologist, I revisited the sessions later and edited the passes with the aim to expose buried artefacts and present the player honestly.”
Weathered People then, is an exercise in echoic memory. An anti-myopic dedication. Thoughts and ramblings from a 35-year-old father, husband, musician, amateur meteorologist and disillusioned heritage revivalist. It is an ancient assembly of selections and decisions that were told a long time ago they were born too late, like a Saxon offering to the marsh.
