| | Female voice, guitars, synths and rhythm section meld to make | |
| | dark folk rock with hooks and melodies. Moving on from their | |
| | well-received eponymous debut, Starless & Bible Black have drawn | |
| | together the sounds of æ70s Topanga Canyon country-rock, æ80s | |
| | Mancunian jangle, and space-age psychedelic drones to make this | |
| | dynamic, warm and woodsy second album. Gone are the dulcimers and | |
| | banjos of the first record, replaced by an electrifying wall of | |
| | Telecaster and Moog, and standing in the centre of this bold, | |
| | widescreen sound resides the earthy and husky voice of HΘlΦne | |
| | Gautier. Recorded at Bryn Derwen within the wilds of the | |
| | Snowdonian mountains, and during all night sessions in the | |
| | relative tranquillity of their local village hall, Shape Of The | |
| | Shape is an album of contrasting styles, themes and approaches | |
| | that coheres beautifully into a seamless entity. We get guided | |
| | through verses and choruses of swamp rock, gothic bluesy chanson | |
| | and smoky acoustic ballads, as well as a jazz-folk tinged | |
| | instrumental û after all the band take their name from the | |
| | classic 1965 Stan Tracey cut û but the apogee of this collection | |
| | is the driving drone-choral opus, Les Furies - sung in French, | |
| | this is a very Gallic observation of after hours culture. And | |
| | while this album traverses all these different styles, the band | |
| | never deny the importance of a fine tune and a fine song. | |
| | Starless & Bible Black were formed in Manchester in 2005 when | |
| | HΘlΦne Gautier, guitarist Peter Philipson and synth man Raz Ullah | |
| | started performing live together and they were soon joined by | |
| | Paul Blakesley on double bass and Brian Edwards on drums. Drum | |
| | duties on recent recordings were performed courtesy of Karl | |
| | Penney, another friend of the band. Their first record was | |
| | released in 2006 to unanimous critical acclaim most notably from | |
| | Pitchfork, Wire, CMJ and The New York Times and a seven-inch | |
| | single Up With The Orcadian Tide was pressed up in summer 2007. | |
| | Live shows have included playing alongside Vetiver, James | |
| | Yorkston, Espers and The Earlies as well as performing at the | |
| | Green Man and Moseley Folk Festivals. What they said about the | |
| | first albumà. ôStarless & Bible Black perform each of their | |
| | stylistic shifts with an effortless agility, resulting in a | |
| | collection that captivates primarily through its graceful, almost | |
| | nonchalant simplicityààidiosyncratic electronic drones, tape | |
| | loops, and samples supply these songs with a crucial undercurrent | |
| | of drama and dissonanceö Pitchfork ôthey accomplish all this with | |
| | a firm perception of their own powers, drawing on such varied | |
| | sources without succumbing to self conscious classicism, and | |
| | stamping their own personality on their materialö Wire Magazine | |
| | ôreminds us of darker chanteuses such as Nico or Marianne | |
| | Faithfullö | |
