Dan Haywood lets May Was The Month bleed gently into Ten Signs

Dan Haywood & Harvey Lord’s May Was The Month arrives on 22 June from Ten Signs, and the lyric fragment “June licks the wound of a spring that’s run dry” already tells you the song knows how seasons can hurt. The release sits in a British folk and alt-country space with contemporary folk, improvisational, psychedelic and singer-songwriter tags, while the limited CD edition gives the whole thing the feeling of a small handmade object rather than a disposable upload. Haywood’s reputation as an underheard songwriter follows him into this track: the kind of artist whose songs seem to rise from old ground, half rural memory and half private weather. May Was The Month sounds like folk music that does not need to be clean to be beautiful. It just needs the wound, the season and a guitar willing to stay nearby.
