Biography
Mister Salmon is a multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter and composer based in Sheffield, England. He makes grown-up, grumpy, literate, cross-genre music from layered, simple playing and harmonic noise. In spirit: weird, grey, english folk. Some tracks: nu folk, fuzz folk, or weird-folk. Others: indie folk, with elements of electronica and soundscape. Overall: alternative, avant-garde, alt rock, alt-pop, or folktronica.
Recordings typically begin as songs to electric or acoustic guitar, or mandolin. Tweaked synthesizer sounds (organs, reeds, strings) are used, as are field recordings, and spoken word vocals, toy electronic and acoustic instruments, and some hybrid, hand-built string and percussion instruments.
The concept album Mister Salmon …in Yorkshirama is a narrative psychogeography, structured like the soundtrack to a biographical movie in ten short scenes. It is centred on recollections of northern Britain in the 1970s and 80s, and the way places and people are altered as they are remembered. There are eight songs and two short, poetic instrumentals, including ‘”Kes” of the Motorways’, a reference to Ken Loach’s 1969 film of the Barry Hines novel, ‘Kes’ (‘A Kestrel for a Knave’), and an indicator of the album’s cinematic slant.
