Philip Butler and Natasha Tranter - Stories for Emily

Picture
A handmade fabric covered book containing lyrics, photos, illustrations and a rather old fashioned ‘C.D.’ (a blast from the past huh!) containing the music of Philip Butler & Natasha Tranter, this extravagant body of work, entitled ‘Stories For Emily’, is the culmination of 6 months spent hibernating in a disused basement flat. The bare walls, high cobweb covered ceilings and dusty wooden floorboards provided the perfect acoustics and inspiration to weave their delicate brand of psyche-folk.
Butler’s distinctive vocals and stark plucked guitar, along with Tranter’s ghostly accordion, provide the rich sound bed consistent throughout the record. Outstanding guest appearances from the nimble fingered John-Joe Murray on fiddle, Thomas Collison on double bass and the beautiful vocals of Holly Jeffery decorate selected songs. As with Butler’s 2009 release 'Trapped at Sea', all the engineering and production work was undertaken by himself, with some aid from long time collaborator Thomas Collison.
