Led by a mystic Utah-born jongleur named B'eirth, In Gowan Ring formed in the early '90s, featuring a rotating mould of musicians fusing elements of traditional European folk music with heavy doses of psychedelia. After appearing on a series of compilations, In Gowan Ring's debut album, Love Charms, appeared in 1994 on the World Serpent label. Three age by and by, The Twin Trees was released on World Serpent, an album that sounded like an updated version of the Incredible String Band or Pentangle. The Glinting Spade, released in 1999 on the Bluesanct label, saw In Gowan Ring making more striking use of drone and enchantment euphony.
