Our Take

BELLOWHEAD's "Matachin" album harkens back to a time when folk music wasn't just for your gran's knitting circle, but was as lively and exciting as a Saturday night pub brawl. This British band doesn't just play music, they throw a full-on musical extravaganza that transports you to a bygone era of merry mayhem and wild revelry.

The album kicks off with the foot-stomping "Fakenham Fair," a raucous tune that sets the tone for the rest of the record. The band's eclectic mix of traditional folk instruments, including fiddles, accordions, and even a clog dancer, creates a sound that is both fresh and familiar, like stumbling upon a forgotten treasure in a dusty attic.

Tracks like "Cross-Eyed and Chinless" and "Unclothed Nocturnal Manuscript Crisis" showcase BELLOWHEAD's knack for storytelling, weaving tales of love, loss, and general debauchery with a wink and a nod. The band's infectious energy is palpable throughout the album, making it impossible to sit still while listening.

In "Matachin," BELLOWHEAD proves that folk music isn't just for bearded, cardigan-wearing hipsters – it's for anyone who appreciates good music and a damn good time. So grab a pint, kick off your shoes, and let BELLOWHEAD take you on a wild musical journey you won't soon forget. Cheers to that, mate!
