Spencer Cullum & Hollow Hand & Erin Rae - Banquet Rock Spencer Cullum & Hollow Hand & Erin Rae

Situated near huge cliffs, on the rugged south coast of the Isle of Wight, Chale Studio sits within one of the oldest buildings on the island, dating back to the 16th century. Many have called this place home, some for just a few days, others for much longer. 
Recently, it became such a thing for Spencer Cullum, Max Kinghorn-Mills (Hollow Hand), Erin Rae alongside their backing band of Dom Billet (drums), Harry Bohay (bass) and Rich Ruth (guitars/synths), a group of musicians who have shared stages together in many different forms, but never written together until now. It was here, in a four-day burst of kinship and craft, that they recorded what would become a daring and often decadent collaboration, and their debut album as a collective.  
Formed of ten beautifully colourful songs that sing to a shared love of 70s British folk songs, acid-folk oddities, and vintage children’s television soundtracks, the Banquet Rock LP weaves together bright vocal flourishes with gorgeous instrumentation: pedal steel, pump organ, synthesizer, rhodes piano and more. Such work comes together to build a vibrant and often playful ode to the spirit of the shared experience, a collection of songs brought to life inside a 16th century banquet hall, a rich and spontaneous capturing of a communal moment in time.
