In 2013 Duncan Evans, aka Henry Hyde Bronsdon of A Forest Of Stars, released his solo debut entitled "Lodestone" on Auerbach Tonträger. With his solo efforts the Englishman is living out his passion for rustic British folklore and melancholic singer songwriter tunes refined by his very own charm. On April 19th 2013, just in time for Evans' first live appearance at this year's Roadburn, the song "Bird Of Prey" was released as 7" vinyl single to serve as an appetiser for the then upcoming album. The single also features the exclusive song "She And I Must Part" on side B and is limited to 500 copies.

English folk music from the A Forest of Stars guitar player

Following Duncan Evans' debut single "Bird Of Prey", his first solo album "Lodestone" is a collection of musical short stories in the tradition of folklore and songsmithery not only of English provenance. In his reduced yet still virtuosic narrations the guitarist of A Forest Of Stars speaks of simple people in extraordinary situations, dreams and delusions as well as myths and legends of the supernatural kind. With its dark, melancholy atmosphere, "Lodestone" harks back to the murder ballads of Nick Cave or Tom Waits as well as the sublime momentum of Leonard Cohen and Roy Harper, but above all finds its own expression - an occasionally forceful intensity by which Duncan Evans worthily continues the legacy of the greats of his craft.

Duncan Evans - Prayers for an Absentee from 9,98 €

Duncan Evans' sophomore release "Prayers For An Absentee" is a collection of eight prayers transformed into songs that display the next step in his songwriting journey. Inspired by the likes of Nick Cave, Leonard Cohen and Swans, Evans is crafting dark folk rock that fuses elements of post-punk with singer songwriter sensibilities, tinged by psychedelia. His first recording with a full band, this is Duncan Evans exploring sounds reminiscent of acts like Wovenhand, Sparklehorse, Bonnie "Prince" Billy and even Current 93.

Once a guitarist for A Forest Of Stars (under the monicker of Henry Hyde Bronsdon), Duncan Evans has been pursuing his solo career since 2013 when he released the 7" Bird Of Prey. This was followed by successful performances at Roadburn Festival, Wave Gotik Treffen and supporting Empyrium. 2013 also saw the release of his debut full length "Lodestone". With its storyteller approach, his first record has been called a "dark folk masterpiece."

"Prayers For An Absentee" is steeped in sadness and what the Portuguese call "saudade" - an inexplicable longing - which runs through the spine of the whole album connecting all the songs from the reality of the everyday to the fantasy of the never. Going against the grain of a society bred on cold isolation "Prayers For An Absentee" is an achingly warm and open album; at times fragile and quiet, at others abrasive and angered, yet never less than honest and truthful. With cover art by noted underground artist Irrwisch (Hexvessel, Botanist, Der Blutharsch, Prophecy Fest) and lyrics inspired by Cormac McCarthy, Thomas De Quincey and John Berryman among others, "Prayers For An Absentee" is an album rich with fresh musical ideas, using a lexicon and iconography that one might not have expected after "Lodestone". Defined by its poetic sense of yearning and reflecting our own inner turmoil, this record represents a striking artistic rebirth for Duncan Evans.
