Things in Herds
Nothing is Lost Fence

Article written by Matt H - Feb 28, 2008

Things in Herds - Nothing is Lost
Things in Herds - Nothing is Lost
This third full offering from Brighton's rather wonderful delicate folksters has thus far had what is not so much a low-key as no-key CD-R release (though I think they're putting out properly soon).

If you don't know (and you might well not), Pete Lush and collaborator Miss Ping specialise in absolutely heart-stopping tunes with more than a nod to Nick Drake. This might not have as many of the mood-lifting soars of its predecessor Everything Has to End Somewhere, but the spare electronic embellishments to the otherwise now-traditional acoustic guitar, harmonica and piano persist in places. At its heart though this is another album of near-perfect warm and enveloping melancholy, albeit with the odd poppier moment like, ahem, Nothing Means a Thing.

Things in Herds are one of those beautiful secrets that it seems a shame to share for fear of ruining it, but then I don't suppose anyone's reading this anyway...
