Graculus

‘A Closer Darkness’ is the fourth album by Graculus, consisting of Richard Harding (guitar, ambiences) and Phil Hargreaves (woodwinds). Up to this point, Graculus has always been an acoustic project, with classical guitar and soprano sax/flute. On this album we have utilised Richard’s extensive pedal collection, and (following the footsteps of Bob Dylan) have gone electric. Glitchy loops, expansive washes and stuttering delays combine with the woodwinds to form surreal landscapes that evolve and intrigue.
