Found 169 posts matching withered hand:
As I was out and about last night I am running a wee bit behind with this weeks Friday Freebies (I'm currently getting it all drafted up). In the mean time here's a couple of ace new videos from Withered Hand and the Twilight Sad for you to enjoy...
Normally on a Saturday I like to post a cover version or two, but seeing as it's fast approaching Christmas Eve and I am sure most of you are starting to get into the festive spirit I thought it might be a fun idea to post up a few festive tunes. A couple of songs ended up turning into many many hours of searching through my music collection to bring you a whopping forty Christmas songs from an array of Scottish artists. I guess this is as good as a time as any to wish all of the folk that [...]
[There's plenty of great Christmas songs out there, but most suffer terribly from over-exposure. To remedy that, EbM presents a selection of alternative Christmas songs .] Now we're within sight of the finish line, it's time to bring out the big guns; none of the songs in this festive selection have been anything less than good, but now is the time to take it up a notch. These last four tracks are not only great Christmas songs, but simply great songs, period. Withered Hand [...]
MM fave and all round good guy Withered Hand has put together this video for his festive tune Real Snow . It will be used as part of a Christmas card from Fence Records and they describe it thus: " sleigh bells, wistful violin, and mournful lyrics – it's what Xmas is all about! " The even better news is that there is a new EP on the way early next year. It will be out on 3rd February also on Fence Records . [...]
Haven't has occasion to mention Edinburgh's Withered Hand in quite a while, but break out the haggis and the top-shelf hooch, because Dan Willson is back with a holiday tune and video that (thankfully) takes it easy on the schmaltz.
t's been a while since I did one of my news round up posts, so I guess just now is as good a time as any... Our good friends over at Glasgow Podcart celebrated their 100 th podcast this week, so a big congratulations goes out Halina and all the gang. To celebrate the latest shows was recorded in 45 A Side Studios, with special guest Vic Galloway and an array of tunes including Hidden Orchestra, Salo , Wounded Knee, [...]
I promised Withered Hand would make an Advent Calendar appearance, so here he is. Real Snow is the first new material from Withered Hand in a while, and it's a cracker (sorry). The song is only available if you subscribe to the Fence Records Chart Ruse 7" series before December 16th, so do that here . If anyone fancies getting me a subscription for Christmas that would be magic too. Here's the video for Real Snow: As a wee bonus, here's an old Christmassy effort from Withered Hand [...]

Welcome to Monday Threesome, a series of posts in which we tell you about three bands with similar vibes in hopes that if you like one, you'll like them all! This week we're focusing on projects with passionate, cracked vocals. Whether through exuberance, righteous anger or desperation, the singers of these groups are able to channel sounds that are deeply intense and personal. Edinburgh's Withered Hand (@witheredhand) are reminiscent of a collaboration between Fleet Foxes and Megafaun [...]
This squeaky-voiced Scot looks deep into himself and delivers a sad and beautiful folk-pop near-masterpiece. Withered Hand is basically Dan Wilson, a Scottish singer-songwriter who was actually worried his voice was too high and didn't begin singing until he was well into his 20s. His voice is fairly high, and may be off-putting to some listeners, as it's also creaky, breaking and often off-key. I found it growing on me and becoming endearing and honest after a few listens, and his voice isn't the central focus here. The music, and...
Well one thing's for sure, live in Edinburgh this week will very much not be me. I have a rather nasty flu/tonsillitis throat infection thingy (I'm not a doctor so I am not sure which, but you know the kind of thing I mean) and it means that swallowing is extraordinarily painful, even if it is gin. I am not sure that soaking the paracetamol in alcohol particularly aids in its efficacy either, but as I said, I am not a doctor. We, of course, have our next Ides of Toad gig on Sunday, when the [...]
One of the struggles of running a site like this is getting that balance between pushing new music and simply promoting bands/musicians that you like, regardless of whether they have a shiny new album to promote. Dan Wilson, aka Withered Hand , is a singer-songwriter from Edinburgh who's music I usually listen to on a weekly basis. His only full-length album, Good News , came out back in 2009, but he's constantly performing shows and writing new songs and is just as worthy of your time as anything else scheduled for release this year. His [...]
I keep fretting about over-pimping my commercial enterprises on this blog, but I really should just stop worrying. Putting on live shows is not much more than an extension of me insisting on telling you what sort of music to listen to, so really there's not much difference between haranguing you about your buying habits and haranguing you about what you do in your free time really, is there. So, after a fantastic gig with The Last Battle, Dad Rocks! and Shoes and Socks Off, and a brilliant day in Anstruther with Hott Toadzzz! it's probably time to [...]
A lack of sleep and a morning of CBeebies has left my brain totally fried, so if I ramble a bit more than normal today please take that as my excuse. Why my daughter Erin has decided that 6am is a good time to get up and 'play' is a mystery to me, hopefully she'll grow out of it as mum and dad certainly aren't morning people. Last night mainly consisted of going to a seminar on applying for funding from Creative Scotland, drinking wine and watching the Nirvana night on BBC4. All in all it was a pretty good [...]

With his high-pitched nasal voice, be-stickered old acoustic guitar and tales of wanking on his friend's sofa, Dan Willson, aka Withered Hand , is an unlikely star. But in the two years since he release his debut album Good News, support for the man has grown in the form of a driving tailwind. The decision by US immigration to bar him from the country before SXSW earlier this year (they claimed he wasn't a musician of "extraordinary ability") led to a near month-long residency on the UK indie community's social media streams [...]
If you get this in time, then turn off the internet and scarper down to the Queen's Hall right now, as they will be screening the Sigur Ros movie INNI tonight, starting at 19:30, with live performances by Meursault and Withered Hand immediately afterwards. And as for the rest of the week's gig round-up, it's actually quite an eclectic one this week, with noise, classical and antifolk on the calendar, all within a few days of one another. But enough chit-chat, I need to shower and get out the door quick-smart or I shall miss the [...]

And given that the weather outside is all kinds of shit I thought there would be a sort of bitter irony in using it today.
