about

Bristol-based music collective Bearcraft return with their addictive and foreboding new single Outside in the Morning Snow.

[17th July 2020] Bristol-based collective Bearcraft featuring artist/producer Dicky Moore and artist/singer Sam Sally release their brand new single ‘Outside in the Morning Snow’ today.

Taken from their forthcoming electronically charged LP, ‘Fabrefactions’, out on 4th September, the track explores the essence of acceptance of impending doom from fractious political factions or forces of nature. Speaking about the track, Dicky said, “When life, as Stephen Pinker puts it, is a battle against entropic forces, peril is always close. Morning Snow is about that, and about the solace that can be found in accepting this foreboding reality. ”

Amidst swirling synth patterns and ghostly harmonies, Bearcraft weaves a tapestry of vivid imagery, evoking a sense of drama and peril. Accompanying the release will be a video shot on VHS by Say Goodnight Films, which further accentuates the lyrical narrative with dreamy aesthetics. Speaking about the production process, Paul from Say Goodnight said, “Beginning with abstract concepts and building a narrative was helpful on where we could utilize the location of home/space we had during lockdown to create an original and dreamy video.”

Fabrefactions is Essex born musician/producer Dicky Moore aka Bearcraft’s lead protagonist’s second album following his debut Yestreen. Over the album’s ten tracks, Fabrefactions moves upriver along the Thames, from Margate, through Leigh-on-Sea and into the capital of England. That journey is mapped out in gorgeous organic electronics, in overheard ghost stories and half-remembered urban myths. Here are tales of runaways and banshees, estuary witches, acid trips and seafront car-cruising, set to sounds that evoke everything from bankside industry to underground dancehalls and the ambient push and pull of the shoreline.

Fabrefactions was written whilst staring out the window of a council flat in Dalston after a diagnosis of acute hearing loss; recorded in the corner of an artist’s studio in London Fields before being mixed next to the motorway in Bristol (over a period of ten years). Fabrefactions was recorded with Joe Reeves (Shitdisco, Age of Consent), mixed by Ali Chant (Gruff Rhys, PJ Harvey, This Is The Kit) and mastered by Anthony Chapman (Franz Ferdinand, Future of the Left, Klaxons); all music by Dicky Moore. All vocals by Dicky and artist/musician Sam Sally.

Fabrefactions will be released on 4th September on independent label Australopithecine Records.

lyrics

Outside in the morning snow
We were tongue-tied as the frost fell low
And the real me couldn't help but know

That inside as they lay their heads
There's a silver shiver running through their beds
And a history coming from below

A pane of window won't protect our childs
From the widow of the north
The wild, running wolves
The reviled, cunning jewels
The beguiled, gunning fools

Fools, fools,
Fools.

Near noon as the sun swaps sides
There was a full moon drawing back the tide
And the great war couldn't just decide

But outside it was lovely and still and light and
Bright and white outside
I could almost hear the trees sigh

The lure of treason and our hearts defiled
The lost season of the south
The wild, running wolves
The reviled, cunning jewels
The beguiled, gunning fools

Fools, fools
Fools.

The sweet breeze swept the time away
It's gone away
The sweet breeze swept the time away
It's gone away, oh.

" an accomplished, intense slab of dramatic electronic pop."

"Straight outta Dalston, Bearcraft reckon their genre is ‘Campfire Disco’ although ‘Honey’ is neither as carefree and jaunty as that description implies nor is it as painfully cool as one might expect from their postcode" Edna Guinan - Groove Loves Melody


It's twilight in the woods, where nature runs wild and unbridled. ... more
