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 View Product Quick View Passenger All The Lights – 10 Year Anniversary Edition Rock And Pop | Black Crow Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 10th November 2023 £25.00 Select options Passenger All The Lights – 10 Year Anniversary Edition £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Black Crow Records Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 10th November 2023 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Of Montreal Aureate Gloom Rock And Pop | Polyvinyl | 1LP Released 2nd March 2015 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Of Montreal Aureate Gloom £14.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Polyvinyl SKU: 0644110029010 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 2nd March 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bryan Ferry The Right Stuff Rock And Pop | BMG | 12", Coloured Vinyl, EP/Mini Album Released 20th April 2024 £29.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Bryan Ferry The Right Stuff £29.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: BMG SKU: 4099964004700 Formats: 12", Coloured Vinyl, EP/Mini Album Released Date: 20th April 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Alicia Keys Keys Rock And Pop | RCA | 2LP Released 29th July 2022 £30.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Alicia Keys Keys £30.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: RCA SKU: 19439956641 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 29th July 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View How To Dress Well I Am Toward You Rock And Pop | Sargent House | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 10th May 2024 £26.00 - £28.00 Select options How To Dress Well I Am Toward You £26.00 - £28.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sargent House Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 10th May 2024 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Fall, The Shift-Work Rock And Pop | Proper Records | 180g, 1LP Released 4th August 2023 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Fall, The Shift-Work £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Proper Records SKU: UMCLP003 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 4th August 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Devo Total Devo (Happy Sad Edition) Rock And Pop | Futurismo | 180g, 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 31st August 2018 £43.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Devo Total Devo (Happy Sad Edition) £43.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Futurismo SKU: FUTNO28 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 31st August 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Cindy 1:2 Rock And Pop | Tough Love | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 1st October 2021 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Cindy 1:2 £21.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Tough Love SKU: TLV143LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 1st October 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Beck Hyperspace Rock And Pop | EMI | 1LP Released 8th January 2021 £36.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Beck Hyperspace £36.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: EMI SKU: 735361 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 8th January 2021 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Peter Frampton Frampton @ 50 In the Studio 1972-1975 (3LP Box Set) Rock And Pop | Intervention Records | 3LP Released 28th July 2023 £185.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Peter Frampton Frampton @ 50 In the Studio 1972-1975 (3LP Box Set) £185.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Intervention Records SKU: IR-PFBoxLtd Formats: 3LP Released Date: 28th July 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
