CD Letka Far Off Country
Letka is the latest collaboration between Irish vocalist Sandra O'Neill and English multi-instrumentalist Peter Chilvers.
 
From the opening 'Beyond the Fold', featuring backing vocals and production from Brian Eno, to its epic closing track 'I Dream a Highway', 'Far Off Country' seamlessly combines Country and Ambient influences in a uniquely ethereal way.
 
Featuring layered vocals, treated guitars, pedal steel and electronic textures, the six track collection of traditional songs, covers and new compositions represents a warm reflection of the desolate landscapes of the Mid West. 
 
The evocative digipack, designed by Carl Glover, features images from his archive of photographs of American ghost towns.
