Its been 10 years since Little Arrow emerged with their debut album, Music, Masks & Poems way back in 2011. In marking this monumental milestone, we also celebrate the life and music of frontman, William Hughes, who we sadly lost to cancer in December 2018.
Available for the first time on vinyl, and accompanied by a raft of bonus digital tracks, Music, Masks & Poems completes the collection of existing fans, but also acts as the perfect introduction to a stellar, much-missed songwriting talent. Brimming with themes of hope, love and community, the album remains an expansive, airy and understated folk-tinged gem. Label owner and Little Arrow drummer Rich Chitty elaborates in his accompanying liner notes:
From the tranquil opening of Bitten Blues to the vivid imagery in Aeroplane; the lyrics felt old-worldly but familiar. Full of hope, but tragic. Wetting its toes amongst the mayhem, as Will puts it in Poetically Diseased. It was intimate, strange and personal yet somehow relatable, as though it talked of your pain and your joy, all through metaphors nearly lost to time. Easy Now and Beneath the True Blue were haunting and heart-breaking. People of the Volcano, Boat and Poetically Diseased were optimistic but borne of that same curious cloth. To this day, it remains my favourite part of Wills back catalogue.
The release charts some of the many aspects of Wills artistic life with a Words & Art booklet showcasing his sculptures and lyrics; all accompanying the heavyweight, marbled blue vinyl of music.
