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 Roots Manuva Meets Wrong Tom Duppy Writer Rap / Hip Hop | Ninja Tune | 2LP Released 8th September 2010 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Roots Manuva Meets Wrong Tom Duppy Writer £14.00 Genre: Rap / Hip Hop Label: Ninja Tune SKU: BD165 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 8th September 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Primal Scream Riot City Blues Rock And Pop | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 2LP Released 25th August 2014 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Primal Scream Riot City Blues £24.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP1175 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 25th August 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Wesley Joseph GLOW EP Rock And Pop | Secretly Canadian | 12", Coloured Vinyl, EP/Mini Album Released 21st April 2023 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Wesley Joseph GLOW EP £21.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Secretly Canadian SKU: SC461LP-C1 Formats: 12", Coloured Vinyl, EP/Mini Album Released Date: 21st April 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Nickelback Get Rollin’ Rock And Pop | BMG | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 31st March 2023 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nickelback Get Rollin’ £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: BMG SKU: 4050538853827 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 31st March 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Agnetha Fältskog Eyes Of A Woman – Limited Edition Red Vinyl Rock And Pop | UMC | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 26th July 2017 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Agnetha Fältskog Eyes Of A Woman – Limited Edition Red Vinyl £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC SKU: 5756988 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 26th July 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Nancy Elizabeth Dancing Rock And Pop | Leaf | 1LP, Includes CD Released 22nd April 2013 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nancy Elizabeth Dancing £14.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Leaf SKU: BAY84V Formats: 1LP, Includes CD Released Date: 22nd April 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Spin Doctors Pocket Full of Kryptonite Rock And Pop | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 10th February 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Spin Doctors Pocket Full of Kryptonite £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP1656 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 10th February 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Lambchop Mr. M (Reissue) Rock And Pop | City Slang | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released 12th August 2022 £29.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Lambchop Mr. M (Reissue) £29.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: City Slang SKU: SLANG50013X Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 12th August 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Artists Woodstock Four Rock And Pop | Rhino | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 5th July 2019 £40.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists Woodstock Four £40.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Rhino SKU: 0081227911065 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 5th July 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Fog For Good Rock And Pop | Total Gross National Product | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 13th May 2016 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Fog For Good £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Total Gross National Product SKU: TGNP048LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 13th May 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
