Bowerbirds – Hymns for a dark horse
Hymns for a Dark Horse is an understated gem of an album. A gorgeous collection of folk tunes with wholesome sounding harmonies and clever rythyms. The key to their music is keeping it simple and while often the verses of songs may seem to meander a little they always nail it back with catchy choruses which leave you wanting more. You will get the overall sound of the album by listening to the first thirty seconds and it’s a sound that will largely appeal or not. I loved it from my first listen and it just shines even stronger the more you get to know these gentle songs.
