'The Swing Station' expands Annown's soundworlds from the wild west of Cornwall to tales from the Wild West itself, incorporating Americana and bluesy influences, all with a healthy dose of whimsy. Musical storytelling at its best!

Annown’s new album marks a new horse being hitched to the Annown stagecoach (hence the title), which adds a whole new level to their material. The words are still based on Cornish myth, legends and tales – but musically they have expanded their range to include elements of americana folk and more.
Lots of great songs and music – still a strong Cornish element and firmly in a wider folk tradition. It will be a treat to see these performed live, meanwhile the recording should fly off the shelves once it is released (March?) and you can hear tracks in the New Releases programme on Wreckers.Radio.
