The Glinting Spade' is a sprawling, ambitious folk-rock double album recorded in isolation. It captures In Gowan Ring at a transitional moment, blending his earlier psych-folk sound with a more expansive, experimental approach.
- The album was self-released in the UK on November 21, 2015, via Merlins Nose Records.
- The Glinting Spade's runtime is over 90 minutes, featuring 19 tracks.
- This release came out during a period of intense creative output for the artist, with multiple albums and EPs released in consecutive years.
In Gowan Ring is the principal recording name of one-man-band folk artist Robert Innes (b. 1985). He is a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. The Glinting Spade arrived midway through a prolific period of Innes's career, following closely on the heels of 2014's "Songs for the Lost" and preceding 2017's "The World He Sheds His Skin."
