State River Widening - Cottonhead (2004)


Third and final album by London post-rock trio State River Widening. Their core sound of interwoven acoustic guitars and busy, almost-jazz-like drumming remains, but it's fleshed out by strings, xylophone (or some other melodic percussion instrument), keyboards, the (sampled) voice of Anne Briggs, and more.

Track listing:
1. Crown
2. Touched
3. Cottonwood
4. Lowlands
5. Kinfegrinder's Song
6. Desertesque
7. Cottonhead 1
8. Madder Hues
9. Unspinning
10. Cottonhead 2
