Post Description

Second album from Readings favourite anti-folk singer / songwriter  Ben Marwood, For fans of Frank Turner and Elliot Smith.

Opening on familiar ground, the soft acoustics of ‘For The Skin and The Bone’ eases you in gently. Although the songs are primarily built on acoustic strumming, the diversity of sound has greatly increased – helping to push at comfort zones. Enlisting the help of a whole mis-mash of bands hailing from Reading’s music scene, ‘Back Down’ is very much a collaborative effort. Always adept at songwriting, Marwood’s lyrics straddle both the acerbic in ‘This Industry Eats Its Young’ and the reflective in ‘An Escape From Yeehaw Junction’.
