Mellow Candle ‎- Swaddling Songs






















Deram 1972


01 Heaven Heat
02 Sheep Season
03 Silversong
04 The Poet And The Witch
05 Messenger Birds
06 Dan The Wing
07 Reverend Sisters
08 Break Your Token
09 Buy Or Beware
10 Vile Excesses

Not sure why it's taken me this long to post Mellow Candle's 'Swaddling Songs'. It's classic psych folk, with a prog hint here and there. The best moments are the spooky songs, 'Reverend Sisters' being a favourite.

Original copies go for thousands and remains the only album the band released in it's lifetime.
