The Worm Ouroboros proudly presents their 2nd album "Endless Way From You", as a natural follow-up to their first "Of Things That Never Were", which incorporates styles from symphonic prog and Canterbury tradition right down to the bleak and sinister zeuhl territories. It’s a whole-range visions of dreams and nightmares, leading you through wordless skies and deserted seashores; mainly instrumental with intense and complex arrangements with flute, guitar and vintage keyboards. Like the first one, new album features guest musicians from Five-Storey Ensemble.

Edward Cowie is one of the most individual and notable voices in contemporary music and considered by many to be the greatest living composer directly inspired by the natural world. He has worked for over 40 years writing music in response to landscapes and the voices of creatures. In this new cycle of 24 ‘sonic portraits’ of different British birds from 4 distinctive habitats, Cowie has drawn even closer to composing music that not so much imitates nature, but that – after much study and extensive field-work – has led to new music with highly original treatments of the relationships between the bird singers and where and how they sing. This album will be followed in early 2022 by a companion (music for flute and piano) featuring birds of Australia entitled ‘Where Song was Born’.
