Morgan Le Fay 'Beautiful Land' out 7th February 2005

NEWCASTLE, Northumbria, UK (Coelocanth Recordings/ www.morganlefay.info) - Morgan le Fay are: Brereton Preen (vocals/guitar) Ian 'Fastboy' Robinson (accordion).
They are joined on this CD by Cameron Smith (keyboards/vocals), Paul G Taylor (drums), Steve Robinson (bass) and Mike Swindale (violin).

7th February 2005 will see the release of Beautiful Land, the second album from Northumbria's finest, Morgan le Fay. This 10-track album offers an exciting mix of the group's unique and eclectic sound. Bringing together the songwriting talents of Brereton Preen and Cameron Smith, Beautiful Land showcases the ability and originality that is so evident in their live performances. Once again, Brereton Preen, a distinguished songsmith with an eye for the lyric and an ear for the tune, presents an ever-changing tapestry of songs.

In his singular, solo guise Brereton Preen has worked with the likes of Boo Hewerdine, America's Cathy Ryan and Canada's October Browne. More often than not, however, he is to be found fronting Morgan le Fay, a love affair that looks set to continue.

Inspired by such luminaries as the legendary Gram Parsons, Hank Williams and Johnny Cash together with more modern day contemporaries like the Go Betweens and REM, Morgan le Fay produce irresistible, organic and earthy acoustic tones. An invigorating blend of ambient, pop, folk and country is lovingly underpinned by an unashamed reliance on significant vocals, guitars, pianos, fiddles and accordions.

Released on the recently established Coelocanth Recording Company, Beautiful Land will make a welcome addition to 'Glororum Too', Morgan le Fay's debut album. Receiving rave reviews internationally, the self-distributed 'Glororum Too' earned the band a firm and loyal global following.
