Songs of Green Pheasant

Songs of Green Pheasant is the solo project of Duncan Sumpner, a recording artist and school teacher from Oughtibridge in Sheffield, England.[1] Blending acoustic-based songs with electronic effects,[2][3] Sumpner's music has been described as "psychedelic folk"[4] with "warm washes of sound".[5]

In the mid-late 1990s Sumpner recorded a number of demos with fellow musician Oliver Bird that have remained unreleased, including an early version of 'Teenwolf'. Over the preceding years the pair were reported to be working on finishing the tracks (an album's worth of songs) under the various names Redman Greenman, and Kill This Love, but to date only a fuzzy C90 cassette bears witness to the tracks. Titles include 'Eve of War', 'Wait Up', 'Soul', 'Bolt From The Blue', 'World of Glass', 'Let in Light', 'Dragons Eyes', 'Like a Bird', and 'It's Not Killing Me', among others.
