Our first proper long player.
It's a limited release.
You might find it in some record shops but if not, you know how to use the internet. .. Just search for Babel 'Crooked Timber' and I'm sure someone will try to sell it to you..
iTunes will happily sell it to you too but y'know.... real things are nice.
Or come and see us and pick one up there.
Some early scores in from the judges..
"(An) outstanding full-length debut by the Bristol six-piece. Babel write some terrific tunes with unexpected twists.. ( **** )"
(Mojo Magazine)
"..a remarkable second album. ( **** )"
(Uncut Magazine)
"an album of inventive, touching and triumphant pop songs.. a true success."
(Clash Magazine)
"Batten down the hatches everybody, folk has grown muscles. Babel have an assuredness that's just cocky enough to be attention grabbing and just handclappy enough to make your guts go gooey."
(NME)
"..Crooked Timber is as good a debut as you're likely to hear. ( **** )"
(Rock 'n' Reel Magazine)
".. Babel sing their own unique & uplifting tune. ( *** )"
(Q Magazine)
"a blessed relief... with a strong potential to be a repeated favourite as autumn comes around."
(CMU Daily)
"A fine debut."
(The Epoch Times)
"Quietly ace."
(Rock Sound magazine)
"Oddness, wrapped in the cushioning miasma that is the acoustic guitar. Drama for the beardy brigade"
(Artrocker Magazine)
"an assured and compelling debut."
(Bristol Evening Post)
We are Babel.
Babel like "Bay-bull". Not "bar-bell" or "babble".
Born in Bristol in the UK, Babel started out all kind of small, folky & a bit shy but then fell in dirty love with pounding tamborines and volume knobs.
Songs led to concerts, concerts led to the recording two self-financed EPs, 'The Golden Acre EP' & 'The Arc EP'. Both were sold from tables in tiny venues. Some of which reached places far beyond our own postcode.
In 2007, People Tree Records of London, UK released the majority of our two EPs to the world on one reasonably priced compact disc & weighty slab of vinyl. The CDs have long gone but there's still some vinyl around if you look hard enough. Or iTunes of course..

just wanted to stop by and say hi and let you know I've uploaded the first 2 songs from my debut EP 'The Life Raft'. If you've got a minute, I'd love it if you'd check them out.
We had a great team working on the EP including Dave Symes (Missy Higgins, Sarah Blasko), the horn section for Silverchair, and the pianist for Powderfinger (all Australian people who you probably won't recognise and who will therefore lose their impressiveness, but hey ho). So exciting to work with them and I'm really pleased with the result.
Hope you like the tracks, and thanks so much for listening. How's Bristol treating you? I still have both your EP's in regular rotation... nice work!
