About Me

Our third record, which will be out later this year, is a collaborative affair that reflects all that we've been doing and all that we like. Melding the boundaries of folk, electronica, psychedelia and blues through instrumentation and arrangement, our songs remain popular in their melodic and lyrical clarity. 'Perry Woods' was written mainly by Emily Phillips and Anthony Whiting with help, as always, from the rest of the band, Guillaumme Jambel, Tim Baxter, Mark Brown, Joe Auckland and Will Collier. We welcome the beautiful folk voice of Jasmie Rogers to the live group which will be a gentler, more experimental and fluid afair.We will keep you posted on tour dates, and press on the new album ASAP!Some press quotes in praise of the first album 'Idle Luxury' - find it at all good record shops! or Itunes!Brilliant....8/10.... N.M.E. Wonderful debut album.... ***** The Sunday Times Instant memorability, verging on genius..... ***** The Big Issue
