On this track on the album A Danger To Ourselves is David Sylvian playing the electric (blues) guitar.
In David J Nibloe’s article on the album at sylvianvista.com he writes:
Official Lucrecia Dalt site David Nibloe article on A Danger To Ourselves with though analysis of all tracksThere is a symmetry in the presence of David Sylvian in both the opening and closing tracks on the album. Spoken word was his contribution on the first, and blues guitar his part on the last. ‘It took me quite a while to understand what I needed to do to it, lyric wise and sonic wise,’ says Lucrecia. ‘My initial idea was to craft a blues that felt frozen, as if coated in monstrous tar – an icy, suffocating heaviness. Then David came up with the name ‘Covenstead Blues’, which resonates perfectly with the themes woven into the lyrics.
