Dandelion Wine's new album Selected Anachronisms (Ars Musica Diffundére/Black
Rain Media Group) is a slight departure from 2006's ~An Inexact Science~, with a
greater emphasis on the intensity of the band's live show which has enthralled
people around the world. The album features Dandelion Wine's trademark tapestry
of old acoustic instruments (such as dulcimer, lute, flute, bowed psaltery),
layered atmospheres and singer Naomi Henderson's enrapturing vocal, but adds a
new element of big danceable beats and grooves. This change has been brought
about in part by the band's frequent touring : since the release of ~An Inexact
Science~ Dandelion Wine have embarked on three full tours of Australia and a 3
month tour of Europe and Japan. Recorded in various locations in Australia
including inner city Melbourne and a tranquil farm house in rural Gippsland,
"Selected Anachronisms" features the an even wider array of instruments than
previous Dandelion Wine albums, with everything from medieval strings
instruments, to analogue synths, ethnic percussion to multi-layered guitars, all
underpinned by a solid foundation of electronic beats. Released on Ars Musica
Diffundére and available May 20th, 2008.
