Guillemots to release third album
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 14 February 2011
Curiously-christened quartet Fyfe Dangerfield, Magrão, Aristazabal Hawkes and Greig Stewart – otherwise known as eccentric indie outfit Guillemots – are to release new album ‘Walk The River’ on 18 Apr.
We’ve not heard any of the album yet, but good old Fyfe does his best to convey something of the intent and inspiration of the record, explaining: “The songs had to sound as if they were being heard through the night sky, sleepwalking their way onto tape. But they also needed to survive on a piano or acoustic guitar, and still grip you, still have a rawness and directness that would move you without relying on the arrangements. So it was all about trying to attain this wonky balance of sharpness and blurriness. We wanted to make a record that would completely surround you as you listened to it, fill you with warmth”.
Well, that all sounds very nice.
