Cosmograf "The Hay-Man Dreams" (CD)
A Gravity Dream Music Release
A retrospective album in both theme and style, Robin Armstrong’s 6th album harkens back to the sound and feel of the classic prog era fused with the raw energy and darkness of a rock behemoth. The 6-track album is measured at a single LP length and instrumentally delivers the vintage sound of guitar, bass, and drums with a sprinkling of classic keyboards.
The theme presents as a mythical tale of a farm laborer meeting an early death and leaving behind a loving wife and young family. His widow builds a scarecrow effigy as a shrine to her loss and this ‘Hay-Man’ spends his weather-beaten days in eternity, dreaming beyond his field.
The album features guest performances from Rachael Hawnt (The Beautiful Secret), Kyle Fenton (These Septic Stars), Matt Stevens (The Fierce and the Dead), Rachel Hall (Big Big Train) and former BBC Voiceover artist David Allan.
