Featured Artists - Furlined
"There is a womb-like
intimacy to their sound, centred around engaging and darkly humorous lyrics and
the delightful cello sparring.” **** Clash Magazine
“Morrissey meets Americana –
superb songs with an irresistible English wit.”
Total Guitar
Infectious hooks, rich vocals and lush, swooning
cello are the defining features of Furlined, a Bristol-based band formed in
2008 by singer-songwriter Neil Crossley and cellist Tegan Everett. Boasting
influences that range from alt country to Edwyn Collins, the band have
attracted acclaim in publications such as Clash magazine, Rock ‘n’ Reel and
Billboard.
“A charming and individual album of rare depth,”
said Clash of the band’s debut album Love Comes In Canisters – co-produced by
Nigel Pulsford, former guitarist with post-grunge rockers Bush.
In July 2012, Furlined – bolstered by the
addition of Graham Dalzell (bass) and Greg White (drums) – released their
follow-up album Win A Dream Wedding, an assured, stately affair with lyrics
inspired by nostalgic yearnings, tales of boy racers and loves lost and found.
Ultimately, its tone is one of optimism in the face of adversity. “If there’s a
theme here,” says Crossley, “it’s a life-affirming one – of great things
emerging from grim places.”
