Trailer Bride - Hope Is a Thing with Feathers - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

A swampy, stompy, hillbilly noir classic from the sountern gothic woods of North Carolina. It's the Cramps, Dock Boggs, Dick Dale and Hasil Adkins fronted by a unique, alluring Mississippi warble.

We've never worked together so hard and so well as a unit, explains Oliver. In the past we've worked separately on the songwriting, practicing in short stints in the rehearsal room. On Hope Is Here they worked intermittently for three months perfecting the pre-production at the Engine Studios, allowing the material to take shape - letting their visions develop and grow. InchOne of the challenges we set ourselves was that every single note should hit the listener as hard as possible, inescapable,Inch Oliver Nikolas explains. InchWe feel we've finally reached the next level.InchIndeed with Hope Is Here the guys drag you out of your comfortable world, deep into a forest - to a boy named Aramis drifting through the dark trees, alone, forsaken, outcast, because he's not like other people. That's a summary of the concept - but there's plenty more to come

2020 . Mint Field was originally formed in Tijuana by frontwoman Estrella del Sol Sánchez and ex-member Amor Amezcua in 2015. The band recorded their second full-length, Sentimiento Mundial, in London at Wilton Way Studios with producer Syd Kemp and help from drummer Callum Brown (both of Ulrika Spacek). The album sees the evolution of the band's psych-shoegaze sound shift toward a more minimal, rhythmically focused approach. InchNaturalInch resumes Mint Field's classic sound with a dreamy guitar that bursts into raucous distortion, elevated by the addition of violin, strings, and saxophone. This was achieved with the help of guest collaborators Cathy Lucas (Vanishing Twin) and Nathan Pigott, who along with Kemp are part of the HAHA Sounds Collective. The motorik beat of InchContingenciaInch sets a krautrock-inspired tone that's taken to new heights with del Sol's angelic voice. Hauntingly melodic, InchDelicadeza' perfectly captures the band's very own type of supernatural shoegaze. Sentimiento Mundial crystalizes Mint Field's distinctive, contemporary sound with passion and energy that takes listeners to unimaginable places.
