Wooden Beard

Wooden Beard is the debut album by Leigh Toro as Flotel.

'A series of short & not so short sonic meanderings concerning a certain 'Wooden Beard' Produced in the depths of Nottingham by the boy-bull Leigh Toro over a period of two years. Detailing the ebb and flow of a whispering city and his relation to it from various compass points, behind trees, under shops and over the hill. Leigh has previously used the services of both expanding records (7" single - bowd) and arable records ( the Bosso Fataka 12" EP) to try and work out his current location, with some success. Hopes are high that with wooden beard he may have finally produced enough material to be certain that his current location is exactly where he is. for now' "the sounds on this record appear to have come straight from the inside of leigh's head and onto the vinyl, no other recording equipment seems to have been involved. a purity of vision rarely matched in contemporary electronica is therefore demonstrated herein" robin saville (isan) The first 200 copies of the vinyl version of 'Wooden Beard' contain a 7" with 3 exclusive tracks.
