Bugbears finds acclaimed English songwriter Darren Hayman joined by The Short Parliament for a compelling journey through seventeenth-century folk music. Drawing on songs from the era of the English Civil Wars, this 2013 release on Fika Recordings serves as a unique companion to Hayman's previous album, The Violence.
With its raw, authentic approach, Bugbears breathes new life into traditional songs of camaraderie, soldiering, and daily life, eschewing modern gloss in favor of rich, evocative storytelling. This album stands out for its historical depth and inventive reinterpretations, making it a distinctive listen for fans of folk, rock, and narrative-driven music.
