The Weary 05:13
Light born boy in sweetness lay Worried not by blood or blade Salt will find the faithless soul In this water's welcome cold And safe and sound And safe in sound and bone And weary of your own Under boat wood men did lay Worried not by blood or blade Salt will find the faithless soul In this water's welcome cold And safe and sound And safe in sound and bone And weary of your own Fall five fingered down, still the bell did sound In this dark of night, did my babies might? Fall five fingered down, still the bell did sound In this dark of night, did my babies might? And safe and sound And safe in sound and bone And weary of your own

Weight 05:01
The weight we were, the weight we are All of my heart broken, black and blood lined The weight we were, the weight we are All of my bones thrown back into the fire The cut of open that did not bleed All the wanted out of me And the unspoken and how it feeds Into the vein, into the seed The weight we were, the weight we are All of my heart broken, black and blood lined The weight we were, the weight we are All of my bones thrown back into the fire The cannot live with you, cannot live without The fuck of you of me and in my mouth The blood and bone of you and every sound Is how I have lost what had been the found The weight we were, the weight we are All of my heart broken, black and blood lined The weight we were, the weight we are All of my bones thrown back into the fire All of my heart you own In blood and sound and bone The weight of your mouth All of my heart In blood and sound and bone The weight of your mouth The weight we were, the weight we are All of my heart broken, black and blood lined The weight we were, the weight we are All of my bones thrown back into the fire

The Blood 06:04
Cock and bone is all it took For my love to be mis-put Like a light out in the dark Darker hole of darker heart Like a load off in my mouth And unwanted afterbirth And I hear your baby's here Your baby's here Your baby's here Your baby's here Your baby's here Your baby's here Your baby's here Your babies Like a mouth full salt and sweet And you wanted me to eat Like a light out in the dark Darker hold of darker parts Like a ship all in did sail To the death of tooth and nail And I hear your baby's here Your baby's here Your baby's here Your baby's here Your baby's here Your baby's here Your baby's here Your babies And the wind will blow And the seed be sown And the made of blood is the only loved And the wind will blow And the seed be sown And the made of blood is the only loved

about

Following live appearances together at Hidden Door Festival (2018) and the Pianodrome (2019) Kathryn Joseph and Tinderbox headed to Slate Room Studio to record orchestral reimaginings of 3 tracks from Kathryn's career to date.

The EP is being released with a launch party on Jan 29th at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, as part of Celtic Connections festival.

“"The Blood, The Weight, The Weary, takes Joseph’s compositions and songwriting to new heights; careful not to lose the feel of the originals, it’s almost as if they’ve been coloured in here – keeping inside the lines – and given a new lease of life. In short, it’s quite something." The Skinny

“Couches Joseph's unique voice in a swelling cushion of orchestral sound that aspires to - and reaches, I think - the epic.” Teddy Jamieson, The Herald.
