Richard Dawson is reissuing The Glass Trunk and The Magic Bridge just in time for Christmas
Tyneside experimenter Richard Dawson has revealed plans to reissue early records The Glass Trunk and The Magic Bridge this December.
Dawson released a new album almost a year ago - the acclaimed Nothing Important - and now Weird World are dipping into his past with his 2011 and 2012 long-players.
The Glass Trunk saw Dawson create an album from "stories found in an old 17th Century scrapbook", which includes six a cappella tracks. The Magic Bridge was a lunge forward in honing his now-signature style, and laid the foundations for his sonic wanderings since.
The Glass Trunk and The Magic Bridge are both out 11 December via Weird World.
