Limited edition LP in a beautiful metallic-printed sleeve. 12 beautiful instrumentals from the Shovel Dance Collective banjo player and instrument maker, conjuring new worlds from the traditional and the cosmic. Jacken Elswyth is a London-based folk musician, banjo player, and instrument builder. At Fargrounds is her third solo album, her first for the Wrong Speed label and the latest in a rich catalogue that repositions the spectral, vulnerable sound of the banjo away from its familiar role as signifier of the past and onto lands brave, new and unexplored.

"...she knows how to knit atmospheres, and does so to especially powerful effect during 'Scene 4b''s three minutes of stunning bowed banjo, yearning with longing and dread, while showing off her talent, curiosity and range" --Jude Rogers

"[Jacken is] an emotive player with high technical ability. Further, she builds banjos and other instruments, and that intimate knowledge of the bones and fibres holding everything together means that her playing has very few cracks" - Foxy Digitalis
