WEB RUMORS - Travelling Circuits (2024)

Travelling Circuits sees Burrows consolidating her early 80s influenced production techniques and individual sound while simultaneously exploring her long-standing love of British folk music. The product of a music residency in the New Forest region of England, the album explores folk music through the re-contextualisation of traditional lyrics and melodies.

"Travelling Circuits draws on folk song material and reharmonises it, abstracts it, and basically pushes it in different directions. I love traditional melodies, sounds and storytelling but my own creative practice in electronic music is very different. I wanted to see how I could combine the two." - Burrows

Travelling Circuits includes a pop/post-disco take on a Child Ballad (The Battle of Otterburn), a Bill Nelson inspired reworking of a traditional hunting song (Blithe Echo) and a lofi electronic take on a 17th century murder ballad (Cruel Sister), as well as an original electro-folk track by Burrows based on a story from the New Forest region (Cold Witches’ Cave).

Performed and produced by Burrows, Travelling Circuits was mastered by Encoder Sound.
