Heartwood limited handcrafted editions available now from our shop.

Heartwood is now available to order from our official shop ahead of its official worldwide release date of 20th September 2010. Heartwood contains 14 tracks (55mins) of Woodland Folkadelica, and its already garnering some very nice reviews in magazines and on the web. You can find out all the details about Heartwood on our releases page. You can hear a couple of tracks off the album on our Myspace and Facebook pages (click the links at the top of the page). We hope you enjoy it.

There is a nice little review of Heartwood in the current issue of Shinding, the uber cool magazine for the discerning listener.
A selective quote from the review reads thus:- "The Rowan Amber Mill and their album Heartwood come across like a British version of first album Espers - all melodious vocals, earthly splendour and quiet grace". Buy the magazine to read the longer review - it is a really great (and unmissable) magazine with some wonderful music, film and pop culture.

We now have a Rowan Amber Mill YouTube channel which currently contains a wonderful video of English Shire (taken from the new album). The video was very kindly made overseas by Italian film director by Francesco Paolo Paladino. Check it out.
