THINGS SAID ABOUT THE OUTDOOR TYPES
"...Think of Nick Cave fronting Fairport Convention. After ten filter coffees."
- Rough Trade records
"...the Outdoor Types stuff, it’s got a fun, very British-sounding DIY ethic, and reminded me in places of Principle Edwards Magic Theatre, The Raincoats and an old, dusty house full of valuable things made out of copper and wood. I can definitely hear going places talent here."
- Tom Cox, NME, Observer Music Monthly writer and author of ’The Lost Tribes of Pop’ (he is also very good at urban golf)
.......Part of the great British tradition of ignoring the mainstream, here we have intelligent and joyous poetry set to music....
- John, The Good Ship in Kilburn
“The Outdoor Types sound like they have descended from the hills with a very English sound indeed. Their music is an informed sonic mash-up of folk, psych-rock, and even a dash of country – you can hear influences of the White Stripes, Johnny Cash, and even Fairport Convention. With clever lyrics and even some (ssssh) violins, the Outdoor Types are not part of any particular trendy ‘scene’, and all the better for it I say..”
- NARC Magazine Recommended
"The Outdoor Types made me want to grow my hair long and perform pagan church organ solos at funerals"
Chaffinch Jones
" The songs remind me of songs that are written for childrens programmes to tell stories. I don’t mean that in a bad way either"
- Jo Waghorn, the man with greatest record collection in Brighton
..........And so, as an adventurer in the epic landscape of rock n’ roll, you have stumbled across the home of The Outdoor Types… tucked away in this heavily overgrown corner of the Information Super Highway. It’s a humble abode, but we have endeavoured to fill it with all manner of tales and trinkets from our incredible musical wonderland. So without further delay please make yourself at home...
