Opening with an aching solo vocal rendition of the British folk standard 'The First Time Ever (I Saw Your Face),' the album then surges into the Cindytalk classic, 'A Song of Changes,' sparkling and spiraling in strange waves of sorrow and joy. From there the mood fragments, tracing asymmetrical paths of feverish dirge, pensive spirituals, noir abstraction, spoken word (landmark Glaswegian writer Alasdair Gray guests on 'Wheesht'), bagpipe drone, and apocalyptic post-punk. Given its aggressive eclecticism, it's not surprising that Cinder describes the creation of Wappinschaw as a 'precarious' process, composed from 'scraps' with abruptly shifting personnel - a situation only compounded by the impending dissolution of their label at the time, Midnight Music.
