Maiden LaneBinary is Albireo's second album, and its two discs cover the full breadth of the band's capabilities. Both are packed full of our favourite tunes drawn from a wealth of sources, all played with freedom and energy. Disc one (tracks 1-11), perhaps unusually for a dance band, is a straight up listening album. Disc two (tracks 12-23) is a dance resource, each track tailored to suit a particular dance or rhythm. Many represent unusual and underperformed material, or have a number of turns through optimised for dance club use. Detailed instructions for dances to go with the tunes on both discs can be found at https://albireo.co.uk/dance-instructions/.This two-disc format does away with the compromise between the right arrangement for a great listening track, and the right arrangement for squeezing the most out of a dance.Some tracks could have gone on either disc, whilst others are clearly for listening or clearly for dancing. Making the album was huge fun, and gave us freedom to take liberties with the music without fear of where to fit in the end product.We're grateful to Jon Loomes and Talking Cat Recordings for helping us realise this ambitious project. We hope you enjoy it, whatever your interest in English dance music.Albireo are:Sean Bechhofer - GuitarPeter Crowther - Electric Bass Guitar, HarpSteve Hodgskiss - English Concertina, Piano, KeyboardHoward Jones - Anglo Concertina, Melodeon, Hammered Dulcimer, RecorderTom Kitching - Fiddle, Mandolin, MandolaAlso featuring Jon Loomes - Hurdy Gurdy on Horses Bransle.
