Rattlebag featured on new Cold Spring Collection.

Three years ago Cold Spring Records released the compilation, "John Barleycorn Reborn". Described as a collection of "Dark Britannica", this was a fascinating double CD set that included a wide range of music from acoustic to folk rock to the electronica and avant garde pieces more often associated with the label.

This combination of traditional and newly written material was a fantastic listen and critically well received. Now the same label has completed work on the follow up double CD collection, "We Bring You A King With A Head Of Gold". Rattlebag's song "The Tyburn Sisters" - a retelling of the old murder ballad "Two Sisters" given a psychogeographical twist and hot-wired into a traditional Swedish folk tune - is featured on this new collection. As far as we know, the CDs go into production this week. Watch this space.

It's a terrific label with a wide range of good music on offer, from the traditional to the dark and rather more hair raising. We've also added the label to the list of interesting links to stuff we like on the right of this page. Have a look!
