Coal

Footprints from where I ran away,
Gave sake enough to feel alone.
I wandered lorn acres for days,
Unable to find my way back home.

Fleeting dreams light my path,
That long for the warmth of skin again.
Though my bones may split, my spirit break,
I endure - the circle remains.

People Help the People

Established in Brighton after a chance meeting in Vietnam, The Mariner’s Children are an English alternative folk band, consisting of Benedict Rubinstein (vocals, guitar, banjo), Daniel Matthews (guitar, banjo, mandolin), Emma Gatrill (vocals, accordion, glockenspiel), Marcus Hamblett (bass, banjo), Emma Kraemer (violin), Becca Mears (cello), and Felix Weldon (drums). With colliding guitar duels and soaring strings, The Mariner's Children make a type of music that is cinematic, pastoral, and entirely their own. Described by The Guardian as creators of something with "the visceral attack of rock and the rhythmic propulsion and thrilling momentum of dance", their songs build from the sparse, delicate understatement of the likes of Iron & Wine and Pentangle into huge, encompassing Arcade Fire-like walls of sound, providing the perfect foil to the troubled romanticism of Rubinstein's lyrics. As an ensemble of multi-instrumentalists, they have formerly lent their individual talents to such acts as Laura Marling, Alessi's Ark, Broken Social Scene, and Peggy Sue, but the group are now poised to make their collective mark with their own project.

Whilst this year has already seen them tour the UK and Ireland extensively with American troubadour Willy Mason, the band will be hitting the road again in November with Bear's Den (Communion) fresh off their breakout US tour. Following on from two critically-acclaimed EPs, early 2014 will see the release of The Mariner's Children's much-anticipated debut album, "Over My Body, Roses They Rise". Shortly thereafter, the band is set to embark on their inaugural North American tour.

"The Mariner's Children roar with the hot-headed intensity of Arcade Fire, made brittle with tumultuous rage and regret."
