Release Notes:
Trevor Moss and Hannah-Lou are rare musicians. This formidable young
husband and wife duo are redefining the modern folk musician. Their
resilient and perfectly synchronised union of heart and mind hollers
and sings in euphonious harmony, dancing elegantly with words
masterfully placed.
What this artful and prolific partnership possesses is the seldom seen
commitment to truly well written and performed songs, with equal
measure of incisive social observation and timeless grace. TM&HL spare
no time for whimsy or self-indulgence. Their music is intelligent,
shrewd, yet touching and universal in its sentiment. Few performers
harness this rarest ability, this calmest power, and to behold two such
artists working as a well-oiled creative machine, conjoined in spirit,
is an exceptional and extraordinary occurrence. Live, their mesmerising
repertoire chimes with melody and verse, with a delivery both intense
and delightful.
In 2008 TM&HL established the thriving hubbub and forum that is
æLondonÆs finest folk clubÆ, æThe Lantern Society,Æ which in 2009 also
became the home of æLantern Society Radio Hour.Æ Charmingly hosted by
Trevor Moss, this remarkable bimonthly show features the best live
performances straight from their much coveted stage, interviews with
the artists, and first glimpses of brand new music by æThe Lantern
PlayersÆ, as well as exploring the occasional fascinating tangent. The
noteworthy result is the forging of a unique and definitive document,
live from the frontline, of a constantly evolving folk scene, in which
TM&HL have become pre-eminent and pivotal figures. So much so, they
were headhunted to take a prestigious place on the Camden Crawl
committee 2010, representing folk, blues and country music at the
CapitalÆs largest music festival.
They decided to become a duo after having released the highly acclaimed
eponymous album æIndigo MossÆ with their band in 2007 on Simon Tong
(Verve/Gorillaz/The Good The Bad and The Queen) and uber-producer
YouthÆs Butterfly Recordings label. Touring nationally and receiving
high billing at some of the countryÆs most prestigious festivals,
including Green Man, Secret Garden Party, and End of the Road, a high
profile national support tour with AlbarnÆs supergroup followed. Argued
by many to be the forerunning album to the current mainstream folk and
bluegrass revival, three singles were released off the debut record,
gaining the song-writing partnership much national radio play.
Consecutive singles achieved record of the week status on BBC Radio 2Æs
Radcliffe and Maconie, and Phil Jupitus shows. A rooftop performance on
the Queen Elizabeth Hall, and a show at Le Centre PΘnitentiaire pour
Femmes de Rennes, FranceÆs largest maximum security womenÆs prison,
were highlights of the short but illustrious career of TM&HLÆs æIndigo
Moss.Æ
Early 2008 saw the uniting of the pair with Grand DriveÆs Danny George
Wilson, and his psychedelic country-rock all-star collective, The
Champions of the World. Other Champions, among many others, include
Romeo Stodart of the Magic Numbers, and former Goldrush members Robin
and Joe Bennett, founders of Truck, Wood and Harvest Festivals.
Acclaimed performances at the aforementioned events led to an impromptu
Bob Harris session for the young spouses.
15th February 2010 will see the much anticipated release of æTrevor
Moss & Hannah-LouÆ, their self-titled debut duet album on the
independent Loose Music label. Co-produced by themselves with Danny
George Wilson and Romeo Stodart, at the Magic Numbers Studio in London,
it is already being tipped by some to be the defining moment of the
modern folk resurgence.
