For my father
There’s always a crazed atmosphere when the weather starts to get friendly again. I sort of don’t like it. It makes me nervous. As a social animal, unless I’m very comfortable with someone, I’m an incredibly awkward being, not at ease in my possess skin. Winter this year went by far too quick. I suppose as I continue to age it’ll feel like that pretty often, things and seasons and experiences and meetings going by at a pace that can only be deemed uncontrollable, inexplicable. ‘When the weather gets warm again, all the wankers reappear,’ my father would always tell at the dawn of spring. And now, due to his illness, he doesn’t say much at all. I recoil; this isn’t an environment in which I thrive. The clocks used to move forward later in the year but now, at least in the U.S., we lose an hour at the beginning of March. I’ve refused to reset the two clocks that hang in my apartment. It’s all made up anyway, I’m living a little behind you.

Alasdair Roberts by Clinton Krute
Alasdair Roberts’s recent self-titled album stands out starkly from the rest of the Glasgow-based songwriter’s discography. Roberts began his recording career in with the indie rock album The Rye Bears a Poison, hiding behind the undertaking name Appendix Out. Giving his latest collection his own call would seem to imply self-portraiture or autobiography. Though Alasdair Roberts is a musically stripped-down and highly personal experience, etched throughout with esoteric images and mythic characters drawn from the artist’s deep understanding of Scottish folklore and folk song, its author remains elusive. Over time, the record reveals itself to be just as dense with allusions, as musically rich, and as layered—with histories individual, national, and universal—as his previous album, A Wonder Working Stone(), an epic double LP of collaged folk song and modernist poetry.
Roberts is a unique figure in the music world in that he has one foot in traditional folk music and one in indie rock. He came to prominence after passing a cassette of four-track
