Sounds Like: THINGS SAID ABOUT THE OUTDOOR TYPES

"...Think of Nick Cave fronting Fairport Convention. After ten filter coffees."

- Rough Trade records

"...the Outdoor Types stuff, it’s got a fun, very British-sounding DIY ethic, and reminded me in places of Principle Edwards Magic Theatre, The Raincoats and an old, dusty house full of valuable things made out of copper and wood. I can definitely hear going places talent here."

- Tom Cox, NME, Observer Music Monthly writer and author of ’The Lost Tribes of Pop’ (he is also very good at urban golf)

.......Part of the great British tradition of ignoring the mainstream, here we have intelligent and joyous poetry set to music....

- John, The Good Ship in Kilburn

“The Outdoor Types sound like they have descended from the hills with a very English sound indeed. Their music is an informed sonic mash-up of folk, psych-rock, and even a dash of country – you can hear influences of the White Stripes, Johnny Cash, and even Fairport Convention. With clever lyrics and even some (ssssh) violins, the Outdoor Types are not part of any particular trendy ‘scene’, and all the better for it I say..”

- NARC Magazine Recommended

"The Outdoor Types made me want to grow my hair long and perform pagan church organ solos at funerals"

Chaffinch Jones

" The songs remind me of songs that are written for childrens programmes to tell stories. I don’t mean that in a bad way either"

- Jo Waghorn, the man with greatest record collection in Brighton
Record Label: HAND OF GLORY
Type of Label: Indie
