The Orchard - Lost In The Cedar Wood by Johnny Flynn

Experience the fifth studio album from Johnny Flynn, titled Lost In The Cedar Wood. Released through Transgressive Records, this collection represents a deep musical journey co-written with Robert Macfarlane. The songs were born during the early weeks of the pandemic, capturing the unique atmosphere of those disorienting spring days when birdsong felt brighter and the sense of bewilderment was at its peak. This album draws profound inspiration from ancient history, specifically The Epic of Gilgamesh. By referencing the oldest surviving work of world literature from Ancient Mesopotamia, Flynn and Macfarlane connect modern songwriting with the earliest versions of the Flood Myth. This record offers a unique listening experience for fans of British Invasion and classic rock styles, blending historical themes with contemporary folk-rock sensibilities. Whether you are a long-time follower of Johnny Flynn or a lover of literary-driven music, this album provides a profound connection to the past and the natural world.
