Shelleyan Orphan : An Appreciation

 


Shelleyan Orphan - Helleborine [ROUGHCD 97 UK 1987 24-Bit FLAC]

Something a little more relaxing for a cold, grey autumnal day. It was sad to hear of Caroline Crawley's passing back in October 2016. Although she gained more praise for her vocal contributions to This Mortal Coil, for many including myself, it was these releases with Jemaur Tayle and their very unique Shelleyan Orphan project. If there was ever a band more suited to 4AD....

  2. Wow, thank you for this. Caroline and Trish Keenan (Broadcast) are my most missed female singers.

    I hope one day you could also post Cavalry of Cloud EP if you have it. That one has the song Tangled Perpetual, one of my favorite Shelly songs.
