Gavin Hellyer The mighty Richard Dawson together with Hen Ogledd mate Sally Pilkington got together to record lots of music to help them through lockdown. Much of the results can be found on this excellent collection of warm, gentle, intimate and mostly folky music. Great value too, as the set goes longer than 4 and a half hours. Favorite track: Orchard.

about

Bulbils was started by Richard Dawson and Sally Pilkington (Hen Ogledd) during lockdown 2020 as a way to help them deal with the situation. They recorded and released a huge amount of music during that time. Here they have selected 4 albums worth of material spanning those releases which will be available in a physical format for the first time.

There's an intimacy and immediacy to these tracks that gives them a really comforting quality, like you're sat in their living room with them while they play.

Here's what others have had to say about Bubils-

“The music is for the most part hypnotic, lo-fi, beautiful and ambient - gently evolving, growing and shrinking from one album to the next.” – The Quietus

“Bulbils’ soothing, gentle, often wordless music certainly serves as a comfort/company to the listener.” – Narc Magazine

23/03/04 - Coming to this from the debut, I loved the foregrounding of melodic elements in the first half—the lead-guitaresque synth lines in the opener, the flourish that sneaks in at the end of Draught of Courage—and I still do, but eleven listens in, it's the title tracks that casts the deeper spell.

22/12/22 - I will follow Hen Ogledd anywhere they go. As a matter of fact, I will follow half of Hen Ogledd anywhere they go. These are beautiful, dark, brooding songs. They sound awesome heard with undivided attention, and are also turning out to be great accompaniment to a reread of Ursula Le Guin's Malafrena. Grain Sparrow
