Indiecater re-release Folklore album

Indiecater Records have been busy over the last few months, re-releasing albums by the Brilliant Trees and Burning Codes, and putting out their wonderful ‘An Indiecater Christmas‘ compilation. Today Indiecater re-release the 2007 album ‘The Ghost of H.W. Beaverman’ by Athens band Folklore.

Kevin from Indiecater explains why he’s chosen to re-issue this indie folk gem:

‘The Ghost of H.W. Beaverman’ was my favourite album of 2007 so having it on indiecater is really special. Folklore (myspace) is Jimmy Hughes and lots of his friends, you might know him from his Elf Power work but in our estimation this album unlocked a previously untapped seam of brilliant creativity. ‘The Ghost of H.W. Beaverman’ is not exactly a linear record but this approach is vital in order to recount the grandiose tale. As the songs trickle by you’ll appreciate how strong each one is. They may sound like they’ve appeared off different records initially but the fog will clear and you’ll find yourself traversing through the story many times over. The bonus of course is that there are splendid melodies to be found on every corner. The album costs €3.50 and the download bundle also includes all of the original artwork.

This is one of the reasons why I respect Indiecater so much, sometimes brilliant albums go unnoticed or may be forgotten with time but Indiecater attempts to remedy this by giving the albums a second lease of life and by giving an opportunity to those of us who missed the album the first time to listen and take some notice this time round. This is definitely the case for me with ‘The Ghost of H.W. Beaverman’. It’s a beautifully dynamic and enrapturing experience altogether.
