about

CHI MI BHUAM is the latest single from burd ellen, solo project of Debbie Armour (Alasdair Roberts, Green Ribbons). It was released on 5th July as a limited edition clear, lathe-cut 7 inch on Sheffield label Sonido Polifonico. The track is a gentle, experimental vocal work using a fragment of an ode to the Isle of Mull written by John MacFadyen. The B-side is an intricate and impactful remix by long-time Mogwai collaborator Luke Sutherland, under his Rev Magnetic project name.

Debbie says: "I grew up on Mull and I have quite a complicated relationship to the place. I made this work after my last visit as a way to explore my feelings of being stranded and isolated as a young person. The melody and the lyric are so beautiful and I was really drawn to the song, but I was seeking to sort of subvert the idea of the "ode" and look at a more nuanced way of exploring the themes of repetition, perpetuity and situation.
