Today's CMU Approved...
I've been meaning to mention these guys ever since I saw them a few weeks back supporting Johnny Flynn at the Electric Ballroom. I wasn't paying much attention when they first arrived on stage, me and my brother were putting most of our energy into finding a good spot to watch JF.
But once they started playing, their music - full of sweet lyrics and even sweeter melodies - made me stop and listen. Counting Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes and Paul Simon as influences, the melodies are fattened out with a build up of harmonies and delivered conspicuously by frontman Peter Liddle. I remember particularly liking his hand movemements...
The London alt-country quintet have only been together since last year and have already supported Port O'Brien, as well as Johnny Flynn, and released two EPs - 'The Chambers & The Valves' and 'Bible Belt' - both self-released and available to buy via the band's MySpace page. They've got plenty of upcoming gigs over the summer including festival appearances at Standon Calling and Big Chill, so there are lots of chances to check them out.
