In an article published a few days ago in <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/culture/2010/jan/24/david-bowie-on-his-ipod">The Guardian</a> David Bowie provided a list of his latest favourite tracks. Amongst the eclectic list was our very own B<a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/artists/boxharp/">oxharp</a> with a track from their previous album <em>The Tailored Soldier.</em> The list was timed perfectly by Mister B in anticipation of Boxharp's stunning new EP <em>Loam Arcane</em> which will now see release on the 25th of February.

In a typically alchemical transformation<em> Loam Arcane</em> and the upcoming full length <em>The Green</em> see Boxharp moving away from the americana elements found in <em>The Tailored Soldier</em> whilst carrying over its ambiances, found sounds and Scott Solter's inimitable production. Boxharp's new material finds the group rooted in a kind of earth-bound celestialism, dealing in sonic hallucinations and giddying melodic twists and turns.

The first single from <em>Loam Arcane</em>, '<a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=45&amp;products_id=132">Rainbirds</a>', is available now for free download from the <a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=45&amp;products_id=132">Hidden  Shoal Store</a>.
