they have been called an ethereal experience of sight and sound, the most breathtaking musical experimentation to come out of the forest city in over 30 years. they opened london's biggest music festival this year. you must hear this band.
they are, of course, a horse and his boy.
since i started this blog i've had their self-title debut listed as my favourite album and i've been reluctant to drop it from the sidebar. it's like nothing i've heard before. strong, full of soul and gleefully experimental.
try this song out. "home" is a heavier, poundier version of the distinct ahahb sound. another newer song has an r&b style bass rhythm. it's hard to pin these guys down.
Have you ever come here and NOT listened to any songs, depsite being able to do so?
I'm not a music critic, but I am a music lover. Here you'll read some thoughts and hear some tunes. When I'm not blogging, I'm involved in the London arts scene and also work at the Gazette and the ITRC at Western. I do other things, too, and have maintained blogs since around 2005.
It's so beautifully recorded and mastered too!
