Perchyll/Swine
The Avant bard Rhys Trimble joins Somerset sound sorcerers Swine in a delirium of words, sound and improvisation.
Rhys Trimble weaves Welsh and English into a feral hoard of words. Swine conjure elemental soundworlds, sculpted by Michael Fairfax’s instruments hewn from the trees around his home and Tim Hills layers of saxophones and effects
Terrific drawn out swells, epitomize Blood Month by Swine. eerie ambiances produced by the unique instrumentation within this album Toneshift

Music | Brazen Head Recordings
Muscular, well developed playing... somewhere between Johnny Hodges and Dudu Pukwana
Phillip Clarke, The Wire
An amazing player, he reflects so many of the traditions in jazz, inventiveness, close playing, sounding like yourself, there is a real weight to his music with a wonderful dark edge
