Bless You & Be Well
About this item
This very special second album was recorded in a secluded location in the north of Iceland with producer Sam Petts-Davies, and follows on from the Black Country band’s 2023 debut ‘Morning Ritual’.
The dynamic of the band feels wholeheartedly distinct, the four-piece are intimately intertwined and each of the band’s experiences informs their new material with the remote recording location providing a sanctuary from personal struggles. The band continues their precedent of equality with the instruments they play and lead vocals interchangeable, and swerve the traditional tropes of indie bands, using their instruments and production techniques in unusual and thrilling ways.
STAFF COMMENTS
Barry says: Brilliantly athletic arty progressive rock music, with strong roots in folk music and your classic singer-songwriter dynamic but with a firm grasp of the avant garde and an unbelievable ear for melody and production. Nothing else sounds like this.
