Epic English pop eccentricity swathed in a lush backdrop of cinematic strings and Miles-Davis esque trumpets.
Bio / Background
'They bubble with a kind of passion most British acts struggle to recognize, let alone harness.' NME (UK)
Almost 3 years in the making, 'A Shopkeeper Will Not Appear' mixes the European film-music tradition of Michel LeGrand & Francis Lai with distorted echoes of early Pink Floyd and Abba.
A concept album in the tradition of English pop eccentricity, it is an inter-connected narrative of 14 songs about daydreaming (the title references the master-of-ceremonies in the 1970's children's TV program 'Mr Ben'). It is the story of a Carry On film canteen- revolutionary, whose adventures in supermarkets, offices, factories and council estates are gradually transformed by the power of a beautiful soundtrack that constantly runs in his head; a backdrop of lush strings and razor wire guitars, Miles Davis-esque trumpets and steepling violins.
