The Mariner's Children + Rachael Dadd + Rosie Sleightholme + Emma Gatrill
-
Fri 5 July 2013 // 20:00
(Friday 5 July / 8pm / £6 advance, £8 on the door)
The Mariner’s Children include members of Peggy Sue, Laura Marling, Sons of Noel and Adrian, Alessi’s Ark, and Eyes & No Eyes. Drawing inspiration from Chris Taylor’s (Grizzly Bear) approach to production, Angels of Light, and Pentangle amongst others, their music has at the same time all the immense instrumentation of Arcade Fire and the subtlety of the likes of Iron & Wine and Bonnie Prince Billy. Songs drift from sparse, delicate understatement to thunderous intensity in the blink of an eye. Lyrically, Benedict Rubinstein creates incredible confessional tales, often with an underlying darkness. “I’ve no wish to die, I’ve no wish to leave your side, but if I go before you then heed these words of mine - let my flesh feed the sycamore tree, in its arms you can climb if you ever feel you’re missing me.”
