EMBER REV

Ember Rev came together early 2016 to play the nervous & neurotic accordian-driven tunes of Cambridge singer-songwriter Dan Ecclestone. Initially ploughing a folk-rock furrow, debut album “…it was all fields around here” was all ukuleles and autoharps. 2018’s critically acclaimed Premonition & Ruin shifted the sound up several gears and the complex asymmetrical rhythms heard in their current set are pushing the band in a darker direction.

Version 2

The band joined German Shepherd in June 2019 for a wider distribution of Premonition and Ruin and the aim to release a full album later in the year.

The highly regarded EP is packed with stunning song craft and memorable lyrics.

‘absolutely blown away…stunning…. pure ingenious Art Rock passion, which is riddled with so much complexity it should be any self-respecting audiophile’s absolute dream’.
(A&R Factory)
‘Powerful…a disruptive, edgy opus’
(Cambridge Music Reviews)

IAN AND NEIL MOSS

The Moss Brothers return with the third of a new run of singles “Fall Out Of Love With Me” – with trademark angular rhythms and instrumentation and unique lyrics Ian and Neil turn the usual perception of a long song on it’s head. With a further single already in the bag and more planned it has been a busy time for the brothers.
