about

“Debut EP from this mysterious Yorkshireman. Strong lyrics, softly sung on four gorgeous, slow-burning songs thankfully shed a little light on an artist who would seemingly prefer to remain anonymous. A sublime string arrangement on ‘With This Bullet…’ from Paris Motel’s Amy May completes a very special package indeed. For fans of Elliott Smith, Cass McCombs and Richard James’ (from Gorky’s) solo work” ROUGH TRADE
