River Lea Recordings

New album, Salt River finds Amidon reinterpreting and regenerating 10 familiar pieces of music that he has collected together over time, ranging from traditional English shanty Golden Willow Tree to Lou Reed's Big Sky.

Traditional songs delicately unpicked and left unanchored, floating in a surreal space between past and present, analogue and digital, love and tragedy.
