The resulting album mines a rich seam of influences, highlighting the band’s love of American indie rock, but still with that Mancunian twist. “reminiscent of early Band Of Horses or even My Morning Jacket’s ventures into the deep South” – Clash S A I L S is out now via Sideways Saloon Records/Kartel Music Group “Honeyed harmonies and reverb-soaked guitars” – Drowned in Sound “Mancunian Americana. Brilliant” – Marc Riley, BBC 6Music “Their harmonies are tight, guitar picking deft and tunes melodic” – Q Magazine “It all here, passionate yet delicate vocals, deep forceful drumming, jangly guitar, fluctuating stings, everything you could ask for from a song that oozes summer” – The 405 “The sounds they generate took me back to my musical roots… Marvellous music to savour and enjoy” – Michael Eavis, Glastonbury Festival
