About Me

Spooked folk rock, psych, alt country and baroque pop mesh to create McDowell's exotic kaleidoscope of sound. Visual support comes in the form of vintage lighting effects and moving collage inspired by the music. After 2008’s 35 shows, the band are planning to release their new album 'A gap in the curtains' early in 2009 before embarking on more live work and promotional duties, culminating in appearances on next summer’s festival circuit.
