Gorgeous, subtle, folk-gazer stuff from multi-instrumentalist Luke Twyman aka Neverest Songs.
'Paper Trumpets' is simple and of spartan arrangement but full of life and melody and lets the music really breathe. It melds a folk-y sensibility with shoegaze-y melodicism and circular, ensemble singing in the mode of A Silver Mt. Zion.
File next to the similarly talented Peter Broderick, Tunng, Hannah Peel (whose album was co-produced by Tunng's Mike Lindsay), Sufjan Stevens and the exquisitely arranged prog-pop of Spoonfed Hybrid.
Unbelieveably beautiful and entrancing, drawing you in with each listen. Backed with 'Softly, Quite Softly, Quite Softly' which rocks a brass section. As you do.
Highly recommended. Look forward to seeing him at the Green Man Festival.
Seven-inch vinyl release available direct from the artist.
