‘Endearingly lovely…an autotune-free zone, if you’ve ever seen them perform live, which I heartily recommend by the way, you’ll know they really are THAT good…’ Matt Seymour, BBC Raw Talent, Feb 2011
- A trio of selected musicians
- A medley of instruments
- 1 cup of folk
- 1 cup of pop
- 1 slice of quirkiness
- 2 spoons of imagination
- and a bouquet garnis of influences to taste
- Season the musicians in a blend of pop, grunge and folk and leave to marinade for 12 months.
- Add the musicians to the instruments (guitar, banjo, fiddle, tea chest, 80’s casiog and flute) and coat them in the folk and pop.
- Pre-heat the oven, add the quirkiness, imagination and influences and allow them to infuse.
- Add the rest of the mixture and cook until well done.
Best served live in 30-minute intervals or on record as single tracks, EPs or albums.
Silent Cities is the music project of singer-songwriter and fingerstyle guitarist Simon Madison. Simon won the Judges’ Award at the Liverpool Acoustic View Two Songwriting Challenge with his song Brother of Fur. His EP Dreams is available on a ‘name your price’ basis from the Lost at Sea Records bandcamp page.
BONUS TRACKS
If there’s a lot of half-finished, semi-fulfilled, vaguely unsatisfying music around these days – songs that say nothing to you about your life – then maybe it’s because the people who make it haven’t lived much of a life themselves.
‘Ever Being On Lark Lane’ is the latest offering from the band and regular shows in the Midlands are set to further grow their popularity.
China Club is the brand new single. The acoustic instrumentation is blended brilliantly with an infectious folk melody not easily forgotten. The lyrics explore ‘the fragility of personal relationships’ and for good reason, China Club has become a firm favourite for the ensemble to perform.
Leere are currently working with Sound Consultancy to develop their profile in 2012.
