You Crazy Dreamers

You Crazy Dreamers

The Winter Kings - Black Caravan

Posted: 30 Mar 2009 09:19 AM PDT


It’s been a while since I did not tip you with some noises…  According to my mood the single acoustic genre even peppered with more drums or raised with some full orchestration is sometimes not enough to match my mood…

The Winter Kings, based in the East of England write powerful, emotive, melody driven music with a dark and introspective lyrical base. Underpinned by the fusion of Delderfield’s epic guitar work and Kehoe’s haunting vocal, their work is difficult to define in terms of influence but should appeal to fans of the atmospheric rock of Interpol and the National and the dark lyrical leanings of Nick Cave and Arcade Fire.

The Winter Kings is merging my eclectic tastes. Sometimes purely acoustic like on the superb ‘Audubon Hotel’ or ‘Indian Summer’ from their first full demo collection  “Carnival Songs”, sometimes flirting so close to the hard-rock (call me old fashioned) like their brand new ‘Black Caravan’ single which will be released on the 1st of April. The band have now finished recording their first Album, ‘The Gallows on the Shore’ set for release in July 2009.

Call it Atmospheric or Hard Rock, The Winter Kings music range is wide enough - and so addictive - that it can be looped non-stop for weeks !
