Piano, guitars, dulcimer and harmonium are set against pinecones, spoons, tankards, cake stands and wine glasses – objects that sound like themselves but also like something else, blurred and recontextualised. Around this core, friends appear on trumpet, saxophone, pedal steel, cello, violin, tuba, upright bass: an ensemble that never settles into the obvious grammar of chamber music, but instead stumbles across fleeting harmonies and collisions, guided more by instinct than design.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThese pieces are thick with location.

There’s a deep attention here to balance: sustained tones offset by staccato knocks, rhythmic pulses continually stretched out of shape, melodies remembered and replayed in shifting contexts. The album closes with ‘Diet of figs \/ Spirit ascent’, the only solo piece, which circles ideas of death and renewal with clarinet, spoons and singing wine glasses – a reminder that Cowan’s music is at once utterly ordinary in its materials and quietly transcendent in its effect.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMastered by Mikey Young and visually imagined by London-based artist Finlay Abbott Ellwood, ‘Six Places’ is a work of idealised geographies, intimate and expansive in equal measure.
