Charnock and Russell are two sensitive country boys, corrupted by city life, who sing fragile three-minute pop songs about life, love and loss.
One from the hills and mills of Lancashire, the other from the bleak empty plains of Lincolnshire, together they create obsessively imperfect mantras of regret and longing set to a rickety backdrop of tender finger-tickled guitar and homely banjo.
Over the last ten years they’ve altered from wide-eyed, snake-hipped students, to jowly jaded bitter bohos yet, in this new old-time music of theirs they’ve found a chink of light, a reason to hope.
Freed of the fleeting preoccupations with fashion, they are now able to make honest, real music, which represents themselves fully, and which helps fill what was once empty.

Russell eats fruit during sex, according to details revealed about his recent sexual escapades.
Glamour model Brooke Adams claims the British comic star - who is a notorious womaniser - devoured a plum while she performed a sex act on him in the kitchen of his North London home.
Charnock originally turned the move to Plainmoor down for geographical reasons, prompting Posh director of football Barry Fry to describe him as 'nuts'.
Charnock's transfer fee has not been disclosed by either club. The England non-league international moved to Posh from Northwich Victoria in the summer of 2007, but made just 16 appearances for the club and spent much of last season on loan at Accrington.
