The Miserable Rich – Pisshead

Orchestral folk, it appears, comes as a result of being frustrated with the traditions of indie, folk and electronica, much the way the cellists and pianists of Shoreline were back in 2006 when they decided to incorporate whistles, a music box, ringing bells, jew’s harp and haunting chello into a very specific vision. The Brighton’s five-piece will release their debut album Twelve Ways To Count in Novemeber. Continue Reading »

Margot & the Nuclear So and So’s – Broadripple Is Burning

Gregory and the Hawk – Grey Weather

Grey and the Hawk is the musical project of Meredith Godreau, whose quaint ruminations and gentle sounds have managed to clock up over 15,000 CD-R sales during the last five years…without a label or even a manager. It’s a reality not lost on Fat Cat, who have signed her up and currently readying her new album, Moenie and Kitchi, for release on the 13th of October. Continue Reading »
