The first of three consecutive monthly singles released from Quiet Marauder.  Pretty Girla Are (Pretty) to be released 15th September 2014.

Wanting to draw a metaphorical line in the musical sand that is Men, pop intelligentsia QUIET MARAUDER release three singles from their meisterwerk, one a month across September, October and November 2014.  Pretty Girls Are (Pretty), Every Time We Think Of One Another (A Petal Falls From The Flowers On Our Graves) and SOS.  Three songs that chart the inherently sexism nature of men; a love that lingers on after the grave, and the males species yearning to be a better person.  A trio of whimsical indie pop gems infused with the musical DNA extracted from the likes of Belle & Sebastian, Half Man Half Biscuit and Syd Barrett.

QUIET MARAUDER are truly unique in 2014’s musical landscape.  Who else would dare to exorcise their own demons as with songs charting the growth of the male psyche through love, rejection, breakdown, madness, intoxication and, ultimately, resolution?  If only such corduroy brandishing-ly serious topics sounded dreary on record?  Not so the songs penned by Simon M. Read and Jonathan Day.  You’ll forgive yourself for laughing out loud at the logic behind ‘girl spotting’ on public transport as witnessed on Pretty Girls Are (Pretty).  You’ll weep till your stetson crumples into its own ‘soggy bottom’ at the macabre alt country twang of Every Time We Think Of One Another (A Petal Falls From The Flowers On Our Graves) and you’ll chortle knowingly at the sublime low fi indie rumblings of SOS.  Three tunes that showcase a humour that has drawn comparisons with Viv Stanshall, The Mighty Boosh, The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band and Adam & Joe.  Decisively daft, incorrigibly intelligent and darkly comical, QUIET MARAUDER are one of the most unique propositions to emerge from South Wales in a long time, a loose collective contributing kitchen utensil percussion, trumpet, tenor horn, melodica, multiple guitars, Thai saw, layered vocals and anything else that comes to hand.  

As befits a band who thrive on organic consciousness and impromptu collaborations, guest appearances abound across these singles.  Pretty Girls Are (Pretty), features the vocals of My Name Is Ian, Every Time We Think Of One Other (A Petal Falls From The Flowers On Our Graves) is resplendent with Francesca’s Word Salads’ gorgeous harmonies and final offering, SOS. showcases the delightful vocal prowess of Jemma Roper.  

With the nights drawing in QUIET MARAUDER give you the perfect opportunity to embrace them as your new favoured companions with this wonderful autumnal almanac, a triptych of starkly dark, comically beautiful singles released via Bubblewrap Collective.

“Like a hippified Kunt And The Gang. Or Adam & Joe forming a Syd Barrett tribute band.” - Bizarre Magazine

“Huge fun” Tom Robinson.” – BBC Radio 6 Music

“Like nothing you’ve ever heard before.” - The 405

“A weighty satirical sketch show of earnest rebukes that just keeps giving.” - Monolith Cocktail, Choice Album of 2013

QUIET MARAUDER - Pretty Girls Are (Pretty) feat. My Name Is Ian

LITTLE ARROW - Free download ”Medicine Moon” lead single from new album Furious Finite.  Medicine Moon released 22nd Sept Via Bubblewrap Collective

Following 2013's Welsh Music Prize nominated Wild Wishes, symphonic progressive folk rock ensemble LITTLE ARROW release their new single, “Medicine Moon” on 22nd Sept via Bubblewrap Collective ahead of their third LP, Furious Finite on 13th October 2014.

If you’ve never heard any of LITTLE ARROW’s music, best imagine a journey.  Sit back and relax, put on your favourite cloak, pour some mead into your finest pewter goblet and prepare to be taken on voyage.  Close your eyes and feel the pressures of modern life fall asunder as the music teleports you to a different continent and different sonic century.  Lead single “Medicine Moon” and it parent album Furious Finite are essential listening for fans of Villagers, Decemberists, Midlake and Mercury Rev.  

We've become a little blinded in Britain often looking elsewhere for our ground breaking alt folk, typically Oregon, Dublin, Texas or The Catskill Mountains.  Now it’s time to look at West Wales for one of finest most ambitious modern folk records of 2014.

“Medicine Moon” builds upon the Pembrokeshire-reared folk foundations of its predecessors to explore uncharted genre-blending territories. Inflections of grunge, ambient, storytelling, rock, psychedelia  and prog permeate the soundscapes, demonstrating the growing influence of the full band backing William Hughes' songwriting. 

Selected album tasters "Medicine Moon", “Flat Earth”, “Pier Mountain” and “Hedgerow” preview a meticulous meld of folk rock, orchestral expansiveness and ambitious ambient sonic textures.  Imagine if Brian Eno had made Ambient 5 Appalachian Burial Sites whilst listening to Deserters Songs, The Courage Of Others, Becoming a Jackal and dare we say it Lark’s Tongues In Aspic.  This is a record laiden with melody and melancholy, songs lit timeless with blazing torches, saws, bouzoukis, flutes, cor anglais and trumpets.  

Lead track “Medicine Moon” is available free from www.littlearrow.co.uk from 22nd Sept ahead of full physical and digital release of Furious Finite. 

Furious Finite was recorded in a secret location in West Wales will be released on vinyl, CD and digital download formats and was mastered by the finely tuned ears of Hafod Mastering (Islet, The Gentle Good, Euros Childs).  Album launches will take place in both Cardiff and Bristol during September, alongside fellow Bubblewrap Collective act Ivan Moult, before a UK tour commences in November 2014.  

LITTLE ARROW are William Hughes - Vocals, lyrics, guitar, ukulele.  Ben Sharpe - guitar, vocals, Dan Messore - guitar, bouzouki, vocals, Callum Duggan - bass, double Bass, string arrangements, vocals and Rich Chitty - drums, percussion.  Furious Finite also features guest appearances from Margaret Hughes - Vocals,  Katherine Evans - Violin, Lorna Brownsword - Flute/Cor Anglais,  Russell Evans - Trombone and Francesca Dimech - Trumpet.
