Sounds Like: .... someone digging holes in a moonbleached forest, with occaisonal jaunts to the fairground for pop and candyfloss - tales of thieves, blaggers and pantomime cows, ghosts, odd lovers and magical vows. In one way or another the music's a bit like: Tom Waits in Sunday School, Nick Cave lite, Jake Thackray skipping through a moonlit meadow - Nick Drake on caffeine - Martin Carthy on a bender or Leonard Cohen putting up a shelf for the Wickerman.
