Been listening to these guys a bit after reading a lot about them here, hadnā€™t realised this was a cover when that other lad did it

If you havenā€™t listened to it much, put the their next album Silent Shout on repeat. Itā€™s an absolute classic.

Just put them into Spotify for my very short work commute, Heartbeats, pass this on, silent shout and marble house are usually all Iā€™d get going there and back

Their first album is well worth a listen as well, a grower.

Spirit - Natureā€™s Way

This tune is just incredible. It sounds like a very understated guitar alongside the electronics.

I donā€™t think many other of her songs, or the Knifeā€™s songs, have that.

When Winter comes its time for Emancipator.

Doug Appling was 19 years of age when he produced this.

Thereā€™s a fair bit of guitar on their debut album, Reindeer for example.
Who knows though with them. I was hugely into Silent Shout the year it came out (fucking more than a decade ago), and it was years before I found out she did all the vocals. Always assumed he did the male sounding parts.
