about
Recorded at Aidan's home throughout the winter and spring of 2007, Dirty Echo Spark began as a semi-improvised multi-track jam, calling upon the soundscapes and solid folk-pop of On The Beach, Nashville Skyline, Tapestry, Tubular Bells and War of the Worlds
Dirty Echo Spark could be described as a collection of electric-folk epics; ragged and joyous, at times elegiac. The eclectic sounds that populate the songs are as much a part of the instruments used (Aidan having experimented with various forms of piano, mandolin, electric instruments, weird percussion and random household objects such as the barrel of a washing machine – recognizably thumping away in 'New York').
Aidan drew on his musical peers, friends and loved ones to help fill out the album instrumentally. Songwriters, friends and associates including Liam Judson (also of Belles Will Ring), Daniel Holdsworth, Des Miller, Sam Worrad, Mike Lloyd and Pip Smith.
