Description
Stephanie Hladowski - The High High Nest
includes 1960s revivalists such as Anne Briggs as well as a far more distant vista of oral transmission.
Reviews
Stephanie Hladowski recorded the four ballads on The High High Nest while a member of the Glaswegian ecstatic jazz and folk collective Scatter. Listening to her lean, vulnerable voice, alone or with sparse instrumental accompaniment of drones and shimmers, is a directly affecting experience. It is also complicated by a sense of the past that includes 1960s revivalists such as Anne Briggs as well as a far more distant vista of oral transmission. Hladowski’s “Willy O’Winsbury” reverberates with transparent echoes of Briggs’s own version. In the digitalised, globalising present, such unadorned, unforced traditional singing may suggest nostalgia for a time before solidity melted into air, a time when actions had clear consequences and meaningful stories could be told. Still the communicative power of the human voice remains a current truth - delicate power in Hladowski’s case, but nonetheless real.
