The Welton Shipwreck - A Fire in a Field of Snow (2021)


Two artists from UK, Stu Head a.k.a. Stooj and John Culkin a.k.a. jculkin, make up The Welton Shipwreck, a lo-fi, electronically-infused project that strikes with awe with their ability to create catchy tunes like those on the debut album called A Fire in a Field of Snow.

They call themselves the "purveyors of fine psychedelic folk-rock" and indeed, the amount of psychedelia in their music is what strikes most. It's clear that the project does not aim for perfect quality of the sound but it's very much not important (also, it may be because the album was recorded online between Scotland and Yorkshire). This music is all about melodies and catchiness without being pop-like lazy. They are curious and not afraid to explore, the choruses they create consist of many layers of sounds and vocals and they are made so it works together as a whole.

Already Unspent High, the album's first track after intro, shows that. The chorus here is simple and short but it's looped in such a mesmerizing way that it just stays in the head. Even in the calmer ballads, there's constant buzz in the backgrounds that makes the compositions full of life and energy. That's some psychedelic vibes I like.

A Fire in a Field of Snow costs 7 GBP.
