There's something delightfully autumnal about the Herefordshire quartet, like watching the leaves slowly metamorphosing in colour then falling gently to the ground. Except it's not gentle. As I witnessed at a recent live performance in London, there's a sense of rich intensity everytime a note is struck, be it by the resounding vocals or by the hypnotic instrumentation. Indeed, Lewis Gordon's resonant vocal expression would be fantastically captivating without being generously laden by a magical folk-pop backdrop.
Here is 'Elizabeth, Queen Of The Sea' from the forthcoming single, a track that I uploaded in its demo form back in April.
'The Ground Will Take Us Down' is out now on Bailiwick Records, limited to 500 copies. Buy directly from [Bailiwick] or from [Puregroove].
p.s is anyone else dying of (man)flu? It's terribly inconvenient.
