Throat

Throat consists of two artists on sabbatical from their day jobs - Nick Power from The Coral, and McKowski as one half of The Lost Brothers, film score composer, screenwriter and touring musician (Jolie Holland, Howe Gelb, M. Ward). Recorded in the period of 2021 and 2024 between Omagh, Northern Ireland and Merseyside, Throat is a journey through McKowski and Power's shared imaginations, at times reminiscent of the rumbling darkness of Nick Cave & Warren Ellis' movie scores; poetry readings held in the middle of stone circles just before dawn light; the bleaker moments of The Wicker Man soundtrack or spending time at a lock-in at a haunted folk club where the beer's been spiked.
