The Sun Also Rises "The Sun Also Rises"
Lovely sought-after 1970 British acid folk rarity reissued in 1999 from the Village Thing label master tapes of their only album of all original songs. The Sun Also Rises were a mystical, magical hippie female and male folk duo, Graham and Anne Hemingway from Cardiff, playing guitars, dulcimer, glockenspiel, vibes, bells, kazoo, percussion, and other instruments, joined by label-mate John Turner on string bass. VERY much in the creative style and delivery of the Incredible String Band, with many similarities to Dr. Strangely Strange, COB, Comus, Forest and Tir Na Nog. Songs of wizards, dragons, death, love, dreams and suicide; tripped-out, spellbinding, esoteric folk collages. "Through the mirror on the floor lies the secret of the door...Beyond is fantasy though it could be reality...". Bonus rare non-LP track, "Fafnir & The Knights". Will come as a wonderful surprise for lovers of the Incredible String Band and their ilk, there were few bands that were able to stray into this much loved world of fantasy and folk music.

SUN ALSO RISES: GRAHAM HEMINGWAY (vocals, guitars) and ANNE HEMINGWAY (vocals, dulcimer, glockenspiel, vibes, percussion). Joined throughout by label-mate John Turner (string bass, finger-picked & with a bow), and Andy Leggett (whistle on "Suddenly It's Evening").
