The Cardiac Hotel Lion & The Wolf, The SKU: XMR120LP Barcode: 4015698008289 16.00 £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Xtra Mile Released Date: 30th September 2016 Buying Format: 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Since quitting the kind of life lived by the rest of us in January 2014, Thomas has played over 300 shows, supporting label-mates Rob Lynch, Northcote and PJ Bond, among others, as well as appearing at Slam Dunk, Isle of Wight Festival, 2000 trees, Blissfields, Fest and Hevy. He released his debut album ‘Symptoms’ late 2014, a full-band affair crafted from analogue sounds. Comparisons to Elliot Smith and Simon & Garfunkel followed, as well as more shows and more opportunities to revel in community and friendship. Second album ‘The Cardiac Hotel’ was expedited and creatively driven by Thomas’s dad getting sick, the songs pouring forth as they tend to do when a loved one’s future is uncertain. It’s hard not to listen to The Lion and the Wolf’s second album and not feel a little of that seismic shift yourself. If you don’t feel it in the billowing organ chord that begins ‘Don’t Fail Me Now’, then it’ll fill you on ‘My fathers eyes’. The reverb weight blurring the edges, seemingly disintegrating Thomas’s voice, brings pathos to the urgent, searing sounds that brew underneath. Violins, brass and lyrics that break upon the softest ears and hearts like waves, particularly on ‘The Pinching Point’ (“All the time struggled to breathe, now she doesn’t have to grieve at the finish line”), while pianos and seething strings seem to bellow over the gentle finger picking and clicking drums on closer ‘Find the Time’. It feels fragile while wrapping itself in strength of heart, a certain courage needed to bare the soul or strip down to honesty. The Cardiac Hotel is still warm though, never feeling disconnected from the listener, probably because of the lack of digital interference. And that’s important because The Lion and the Wolf is all about intimacy and understanding. You’ll never be alone with The Lion and the Wolf, and you’ll never have to feel that way now you’re part of the pride and pack. “A wholly autumnal, acoustic-led slice of melancholy…one of the UK’s most promising singer-songwriters.” – Rock Sound “Gentle vocals and lilting drive call to mind Elliot Smith and Simon and Garfunkel” – The Independent “One of the most underrated singer-songwriters in the UK today… Poignant, mature, and the perfect soundtrack for the long winter ahead” – Punktastic “An elegantly understated and wistfully melancholic collection of prime-cut songs in the singer-songwriter vein” – Musical Melting Pot on Symptoms (92%) Artist Lion & The Wolf, The Genre Rock And Pop Label Xtra Mile Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings Don’t Fail Me Now Heaven Forbid My Father’s Eyes The Hospital Floor Walk On The Moon The Pinching Point Barstools December Past The Point Of Fair Witness Find The Time Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Rock And Pop On Sale View Product Quick View Les Jupes Modern Myths Rock And Pop | Head In The Sand | 1LP Released 3rd September 2012 £2.99 £16.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Les Jupes Modern Myths £2.99 £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Head In The Sand SKU: HSRV001 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 3rd September 2012 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View John Cale The Academy In Peril Rock And Pop | 4 Men With Beards | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 26th August 2014 £27.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Cale The Academy In Peril £27.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: 4 Men With Beards SKU: 4M821LP Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 26th August 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ian Dury and the Blockheads New Boots And Panties!!
