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 Madness 7 (Remastered) Rock And Pop | BMG | 180g, 1LP Released 26th March 2021 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Madness 7 (Remastered) £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: BMG SKU: 4050538618778 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 26th March 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Steve Wickham Beekeeper Rock And Pop | Man in the moon | 1LP Released 12th May 2017 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Steve Wickham Beekeeper £14.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Man in the moon SKU: 0190296967719 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 12th May 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Las Rosas Everyone Gets Exactly What They Want Rock And Pop | Ernest Jenning Record Co | 1LP Released 10th March 2017 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Las Rosas Everyone Gets Exactly What They Want £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Ernest Jenning Record Co SKU: EJRC135LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 10th March 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Maroon 5 JORDI Rock And Pop | Interscope | 1LP Released 17th December 2021 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Maroon 5 JORDI £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Interscope SKU: 3866160 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 17th December 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Kiss Lick It Up Rock And Pop | Back To Black | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 31st March 2014 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Kiss Lick It Up £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Back To Black SKU: 3771551 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 31st March 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Formation Look At The Powerful People Rock And Pop | Warner Bros | 1LP Released 24th March 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Formation Look At The Powerful People £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Warner Bros SKU: 0190295934217 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 24th March 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Los Lobos Kiko Rock And Pop | Mobile Fidelity | 180g, 1LP Released 25th February 2014 £50.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Los Lobos Kiko £50.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Mobile Fidelity SKU: MFSL1371 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 25th February 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Weezer SZNZ: Summer Rock And Pop | Atlantic | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 19th May 2023 £28.00 - £30.00 Select options Weezer SZNZ: Summer £28.00 - £30.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Atlantic Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 19th May 2023 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Kurt Vile Smoke Ring For My Halo Rock And Pop | Matador | 1LP Released 2nd March 2011 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Kurt Vile Smoke Ring For My Halo £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Matador SKU: OLE9381 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 2nd March 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bright Light Bright Light Fun City Rock And Pop | YSKWN | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 18th September 2020 £17.00 Select options Bright Light Bright Light Fun City £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: YSKWN Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 18th September 2020 Read More Select options See more in Rock And Pop Start again
