Time is Away – Ballads
Time is Away is the London-based DJ/musical storyteller/artist duo Jack Rollo and Elaine Tierney. Their first officially licensed compilation, Ballads is a divinely curated collection of deeply heartfelt songs and devotional music from across continents, decades, and genres. Ambient jazz, spoken word, ambient, folk, chamber music, and more are all weaved together, perfectly sequenced across the compilation’s 13 tracks. “The voice is an instrument, a letter from home, the colour of pomegranates… pastoral mysteries and idyllic myths weaved from an inventory of dreams.” If you enjoy the selection, we highly recommend checking out the duo’s monthly NTS Radio show, as well as The Early Bird Show with Jack Rollo.
