"Each inspirational composition speaks in intricate tongues of simpler
times, evocative instrumental breakdowns speaking the words the lips
cannot. An intensely vivid journey into a discordantly beautiful world,
Sons of Noel and Adrian have liberated themselves from the constraints
of society's sonic status quo, and in doing so, have created something
truly inspirational." - Drowned In Sound (Album of the Month, 8/10)
review of Sons of Noel and Adrian album
Sons of Noel and Adrian was formed in 2007 by best friends, Jacob
Richardson and Tom Cowan. After years of writing and performing
together in the drunken brewery town of Burton-Upon-Trent these two
troubadour guitar players parted ways for art school and European
travel adventures, only to be re-united years later on the
south-eastern shores of Brighton.
Having long shared a passion for rich, layered and intricate guitar
music, the 'Sons╙' deep musical exploration quickly developed into a
unique and mesmerizing style, brooding on the dark fringes of folk,
crossing genres and quickly setting them apart from their
contemporaries.
Bringing along violinist Mike Siddell (Hope of the States / Lightspeed
Champion) and William Calderbank (The Miserable Rich) for the wild
ride, the newly formed four piece quickly retreated to a converted
chicken shed in the Quantock Hills of Devon and set about creating
their debut album Sons of Noel and Adrian (Shelsmusic) which was
released in 2008 to mass critical acclaim.
Now recording as a twelve piece collective the Rivers EP is a
collection of dark, folk-noir tracks written by Jacob Richardson that
explore three very differing concepts through a single shared metaphor
which was brought about by ╢three gruelling days in the hottest sun
fishing with Jack on the wrong side of the river≈. EP opener and live
favourite 'Black Side of the River' came directly from this experience.
The theme is then continued through the powerful second track ╡Big,
Bad, Bold' which surrounds the concept of ╢the inner strength of a
woman≈, finally 'Leaving Mary's Hand' brings the EP to a thought
provoking close as Jacob contemplates his mental 'state of love and
trust'.
This is their first ever vinyl release and is limited to just 300
copies worldwide.
