Piano and field recordings combine on Ann Margaret Hogan’s Funeral Cargo

Exploring landscapes of the past.

Ann Margaret Hogan has released a new album, Funeral Cargo, via Downwards.

The album continues to see Hogan explore the past through landscape and sounds, and draws on her birthplace in Oxton, on The Wirral, for inspiration.

Across its eight tracks Funeral Cargo weaves together a portrait of these spaces through largely improvised piano pieces and field recordings gathered during Hogan’s walks.

It follows her Honeysuckle Burials album last year, also released on Downwards.
