Charlie Parr is from the same Duluth music scene that spawned the likes of Low and Haley Bonar, and his music delves deep into the back roads of American folk music, there’s hints of Robert Johnson, Nick Drake and Will Oldham in his playing, and a true from the heart power and clarity that is simply stunning. This guy is the real thing, and you can hear it in every note he plays, which would also explain why the people at the superb End of the Road festival ask him back every single year!
Neil McSweeney plays beautifully considered and perfectly restrained music that will delight fans of Low, Adrian Crowley, Nina Nastasia, Mark Kozelek, and Jason Molina.
Deftly fingerpicked folk loveliness from a local favourite - Michael Rossiter perfectly executes traditional folk as well as his own material, sings from his heart and gets the perfect sound from his guitar.
"The Ridings draws together strands of guitar and delicate electronics....by embedding lightly sculpted six string textures in a tapestry of field recordings and plugin tweaks".
Includes full length bonus CD of remixes courtesy of Bracken, The Declining Winter, Part Timer, aus, Epic45, Portal, Gareth S Brown, Fieldhead, Glen Shipley, Winter North Atlantic and Yuri Lugovskoy.
Just to let you know that you are in the CITB year end list!!!

If any of you, by sheer misfortune does not own a copy of 'Gallows', you face missing out on one of the most startlingly brilliant albums of the year. Buy it now. Do it. Go on then. Now. Happy Christmas too.
Hauschka Having studied classical piano for ten years, Dusseldorf-based pianist/composer Volker Bertelmann's work as Hauschka is based upon a playful exploration of the possibilities of the 'prepared' piano. His resulting tracks are vivid, unconventional pieces made in a spirit of playful research-enthusiasm, which he's taken around the world - in the USA with Múm, in Japan with Colleen, and a debut, sold-out London show with Max Richter. Hauschka's music is a thing of beauty - intertwined melodies and rythyms that flit between gorgeously lush and complex and stunning minimalism.
Gareth S. Brown With influences as diverse as Eastern European folk music, funeral marches and jewellery boxes, Gareth creates gorgeous work of layered beauty with nods towards Philip Glass, Terry Riley and Michael Nyman as well as latter day travellers such as Max Richter, Yann Tiersen and Aphex Twin.
Saturday: 8/11/2008 @ The Holy Trinity Church, Leeds. Doors 8.30pm.
THIS SATURDAY - TALL FIRS + THE DECLINING WINTER @ THE LUMINAIRE
TALL FIRS - Beautiful and complex indie rock songs from the Ecstatic Peace Trio. "Intertwining guitar drifts to more gnarled, backwood riffage that nods to Crazy Horse" - THE WIRE.
The idea is simple: eight bands play across two stages in the same venue - four chosen by renowned local DIY promoters Forest of Sound, four chosen by fantastic local independent label Gizeh Records. All bands play consecutively so the audience gets to see everything.
