This is the page for the debut album from idiosyncratic London singer-songwriter-producer Conil - 2007's Strange Part of the Country.
The album is in two parts: One part is dark and beautiful (Time Settles, Old Irish Drunks), the other screams the blues over ethnic instruments and junkyard percussion (Dog Meat Stew, A Waterfall Is Poem Pouring Through A Rock).
He has collaborated with blues guitar legend, Peter Green (Fleetwood Mac); Nick Drake’s double bass player, Danny Thompson; and Grammy winning producer, Tchad Blake (Tom Waits, Black Keys).
The album won credible plaudits – a 4-star Q RECOMMENDS review in Q; a front cover feature in Blues Matters; spins on 6 Music, Radio 2, NME Radio and XFM; plus reaching number 3 on the US airplay alt-radio chart after his SXSW show.

Hi Conil,
your music is out of this world, can't classify it because it's so far out there... simply stunning soundscapes way beyond the norm.
Wishing you all the best
Maria :)
