about

Four years in the making and entirely self-produced, 'Tall Tales' is the first full-length album from Ringlefinch and has been called “one of the most accomplished debuts we’ve heard in years”. With dark-humoured, wittily introspective lyrics set to upbeat, offbeat earworm tunes and a strong folk-storytelling sensibility, 'Tall Tales' is built around themes of identity, exploring how we all tell ourselves stories of who we are to try and make sense of the world, and how we fit in it. The stories here are rooted in a deep sense of place, of the personal and the universal. This sense of self-determination even extends to the production of the album - the band recorded and mixed it on equipment they built themselves. The album is released on highly regarded boutique record label Folkroom Records.

The cover photos were taken by singer Andy's dad in 1990, when Britain’s most famous steeplejack Fred Dibnah visited their small Peak District village to demolish an old mill chimney. After all, every story has an ending - and more often than not, the most interesting ones are the ones that come tumbling right on down.

The instrumentation and songwriting in this album is really top-tier. Aofie is one of my favorite folk/alt-country artists and she performs wonderfully, bringing her unique tone of voice to this project. This album was my first step into Aofie's artistry, and is firmly one of my favorite albums. rileyridgway
