Peril Hill - Scream At The Jackdaw, Make Him Stop
The first release from Sheffield label Singing Knives offers up some of the finest players in the British new folk scene. Peril Hill, who feature members of fellow folkies Deerpark have delivered a softly strummed and sung mini album full of Ali Roberts meets Iron and Wine loveliness.
'Scream at the Jackdaw' showcases band leader Mark Gardner's subtle, gentle vocals and strong, inspired songwriting. Though perhaps a little sombre in places, with an emphasis on minor keys and blood drenched lyrics, the instrumentation of viola, harmonium and guitar along with sensitive harmony vocals courtesy of Fiona Kennedy, manages to transform the songs from potential dirginess to sweeping, lovelorn sweetness. Opener 'Siren' is perhaps the standout, along with the beautiful banjo led 'Vapours in August', helping to make Peril Hill's debut the kind of sensitive singer songwriter set that would have the new breed of urban hippies drooling.
