Greet

A clear winters morning The sky a pale blue I still see the crescent, waining moon The tree boughs are creaking, Cold dew on the ground The chimney smoke rising, In whisp’d white clouds Unearthly twilight, On path’s crimson gold The last breath of summer, Clinging through the gloom The crow is cawing, With carrion song And I hear the songbird Of this November dawn

“Greet” is the new dark folk solo project from Matthew Broadley, the former drummer of Black Metal band Dawn Ray’d. Harmonium driven drones and textures combined with wonky melodies. 4 Odes to winter, nature, the drudgery of work and beer. A labour of love and fear, of hope and anxiety, of joy and hate. If you imagine Neil Young crossed with The Wicker Man then you’ll be some of the way there
