Churning Strides is eight tracks of Yann Encre's extraordinary guitar and kora playing: elliptical, mercurial, folk that looks forwards not backwards, and plays to a secret internal rhythm all of its own. It's also extremely beautiful. The Independent on Sunday describes the sequence of 'So Goes the Pulse' through to 'Swaying Eel' as 'eerily gorgeous'. Uncut reckons it's a 'weird, daring folk-blues experiment' that's 'slyly funny, subtly odd'
