Blackhouse

Blackhouse is the seventh studio album by Scottish celtic fusion band Peatbog Faeries, released in May 2015 by the band's label Peatbog Records. After recording their acclaimed album Dust, the band played live for the following few years, during which time fiddler Peter Tickell left the band, to be replaced by Ross Couper. As the band had not recorded an album for some years, they returned to record Blackhouse mainly in a cottage in Kilchoan, Ardnamurchan during 2014, although recording continued into 2015. Their first album with Couper, and their first without a brass section since Welcome to Dun Vegas, Blackhouse was produced by Calum MacLean and displays a very eclectic array of genres, fusing the band's Scottish celtic roots with genres such as jazz, funk, reggae, dance and house. The album was released to a very positive reception from music critics, who commended the array of music. One reviewer said the album was "a monumental homage to home, a sumptuous cavalier shot of bravado and experiment, which has undoubtedly assured the Peatbog Faeries individualism and taken them to the borders of lands unknown. Dazzling." From Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackho...) under Creative Commons Attribution CC-BY-SA 3.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...)
