about

Cardinal Fuzz and Feeding Tube Records present the debut album by artist, musician and writer Andrew DR Abbott. Dead in Chellow Dean extends the themes and aesthetic introduced in his Live on Daisy Hill cassette released in 2018 by Bloxham Tapes and described by The Quietus as ‘a minor 21st century folk masterpiece’.

Through a series of instrumental 8-string baritone acoustic guitar compositions, Abbott conveys a dark and disorientating journey through the beautifully derelict hinterlands of Bradford: the postindustrial city in the North of England where he lives. The core tracks of the album are joined together by collages of field recordings and improvisations on handmade instruments.

Dead in Chellow Dean is released in an edition of 300 including a 10-page booklet featuring artwork by Ruth Fettis and a short story by Andrew DR Abbott.

***Download includes PDF booklet and bonus track ***

“This is one of the most beautiful, introspective collections of intricate acoustic guitar music you could ever hope to hear… Abbott conveys an emotive trip with mostly just one instrument, and his unique approach to technique, structure, and musicality all come together to form a powerful narrative. A genuine escape ideal for those in search of hidden gems.” - The Sleeping Shaman

“An excellent album of pastoral paintings as Andrew pitches himself as the psych folk Vini Reilly” - Colour Horizon

“A wonderful record which is bleak, yet warm and colourful, sad yet joyful … like the area that inspired the music. Most highly recommended indeed’ - Terrascope
