kip of the serenes

Exact reissue

Ireland's answer to the Incredible String Band, Dr. Strangely Strange engaged in the same type of psychedelic acoustic music with folksy arrangements. With traditional instruments like penny whistle, fiddle, harmonium, and mandolin, Dr. Strangely Strange was more solidly rooted in melody and structure than the group's flaky Scottish counterparts. Produced by British modern folk guru Joe Boyd (Fairport Convention, Incredible String Band), ‘Kip of the Serenes’ is built around simple and repetitious melodies occasionally interrupted by stream-of-consciousness musical and lyrical diversions.
