Search - Stephenhero :: Apparition In The Woods

2009 release from Stephenhero (AKA Patrick Fitzgerald from Kitchens Of Distinction fame). Apparition In The Woods is Patrick's fifth record under the Stephenhero name and provides us with another slab of his literary-inspired musical genius. The album demonstrates first and foremost Patrick's love of a good story. Taking biographical leads from a cast ranging from the great gay poets and prose writers of the 19th and 20th centuries to the British songwriting tradition of Benjamin Britten, from albums of family photographs to the diaries left by those who endured some of the most horrific scenes of WWII, he has adopted a lyrical verit? approach to retelling these tales of the 'ghosts of recent past'. Using haunting piano, distorted guitar, chilling electrified cello from Semay Wu and equally chilling background vocals from his long-time friend David McAlmont, Patrick weaves the web for these narratives on what he calls his 'most homosexual' recording to date.
