Folk you

Indie

We dropped our skulls to the floor
Just to stop you from talking
It’s been days since the low
Such a fever should dull
At the foot of it all
This test should end here
But then we see the back of it’s neck
Something in the way that it steps
Oh it moves us
Like fire 
Like fire 
Like a fire
It’s been
Days and days and days and days and days and days and days and days
Since we last left
Maybe we should go on from this one
Maybe we should not
But it still
Gives the same answers
Oh it moves me
Oh it moves me
Oh you move me
Like fire
Like a fire
Like a fire
Oh you move me
Like a fire
Like a fire
Like a fire

Andrew Davie, Joey Haynes and Kevin Jones – Bear’s Den to an ever-growing army of fans – formed a band in 2012. Two short years has seen euphoric word of mouth take them from early days of sofa surfing gigs via touring across Europe and North America to selling out their own 1500 capacity London headline show in May this year. All the while, their music has evolved into something spellbinding and beautiful; a gorgeous, enveloping sound driven by the steady hum of acoustic instruments and Andrew’s haunted voice delivering  “lyrically sincere and emotionally raw songs” (New York Times) that are “as timeless as heartache” (MTV). Arriving this autumn, their debut album Islands is astonishing – a record that perfectly marks the point where a band goes from best kept secret to new favourite band.

Released on Communion, Islands follows the band’s EPs Without/Within and Agape and their hugely acclaimed recent single Elysium (a track that came coupled with Marcus Haney’s remarkable short film). The album was produced by Ian Grimble (Manic Street Preachers/The 1975) at 2KHz Studio in North London. It features:

1. 	Agape
2. 	The Love You Stole
3. 	Above The Clouds of Pompeii
4. 	Isaac 
5. 	Think Of England 
6. 	Magdalene 
7. 	When You Break 
8. 	Stubborn Beast 
9. 	Elysium
10. 	Bad Blood

To mark the release of Islands, Bear’s Den play a series of intimate shows in key cities across Europe and North America. For tickets and information see http://po.st/BearsDenLive

Laura Palmer EP - Released 14th November via Believe Digital

Following on from the breakthrough success of debut single Flaws/Icarus, BASTILLE, led by South London based musician Dan Smith, present their sophomore outing, the four-track EP: Laura Palmer.

Opening with the Twin Peaks inspired eponymous song’s huge chanted chorus and pulsating drums, Smith immediately reminds us why Flaws/Icarus was such a runaway success; his music manages to garner attention-grabbing hooks while avoiding clichés and gimmickry. ‘Overjoyed’ reveals another side to Bastille; a darker more sombre but ultimately uplifting affair that sees glitch drumbeats coalesce with haunting, melancholic vocals to stirring effect. 

Meanwhile ‘Get Home’ and ‘Things We Lost in the Fire’, with it’s epic string arrangements, see Smith experimenting with his sound and pursuing new sonic avenues, the only constant being his distinctive voice and aforementioned love of melody. ‘Get Home’ in particular makes for an affecting listen as it gradually builds to the most colossal wall of vocoder harmonies since Bon Iver’s ‘Woods’.

Previous single Flaws/Icarus, which The Independent described as “an understated gem”, saw BASTILLE on the receiving end of a considerable amount of attention, the video for ‘Flaws’ garnering over 160, 000 views on YouTube and being covered by dozens of other performers. The release received great reviews from Artrocker and Time Out amongst others, and received early support from Radio 1, Xfm and 6 Music along the way. 

As a live band BASTILLE are earning a fierce reputation, aided by Smith’s versatile and unique stage presence. They have had a busy summer of festivals and sold-out headline shows, as well as supporting the likes of Foster the People and Fenech-Soler. Now with a national tour to celebrate the release of the EP lined up for the autumn, Bastille’s live show is turning into a salivatory proposition.

lyrics:

the current is too strong tonight my dear
with the sun, we'll rise when light comes near
the sea is too heavy tonight my dear

and i'll see through the dreams we've held till now
and i'll see through the dreams we've held till now

Do you recall? our younger days?
you let in love to cross your face
those days have up and gone away
those days have up and gone away

the waves ripped through the coast
they showed a way or so this seemed
the night moves the sand from beneath my feet
