"Daniel Padden and his cohorts have created a kaleidoscopic collision of traditional Anglo-folk, free jazz, drone, and deep-seated eccentricity that sounds like absolutely no one else." (Brainwashed)
Dummy Jim is based on the story of James Duthie, a profoundly deaf man from near Fraserburgh in Scotland. In 1951 he cycled alone to the arctic circle and back, and wrote a journal on his return. Duthie's story inspired both this album, and the film being made by Matt Hulse, which will feature this music. For more information please go to www.dummyjim.com
Released on Unshaped Led, 2009.
