Congregation

Congregation have lately been injecting the Blues and R&B genre with a heavy dose of class and soul. Benjamin Prosser (Slide Guitar, Bass drum) and Victoria Yeulet (vocals, leg bells) play the kind of raw, slinky and seductive blues that have the power to restore one's faith in the genre.

Duke Garwood

“ Reared on a sonic diet of blues and classical, Garwood doubles as occasional clarinettist with the Archie Bronson Outfit, but in his own right makes wracked country-blues albums that showcase Garwood's spindly, jagged picking and understated vocals. It's a sound which prizes mood, depth and authenticity over sophisticated surfaces, with the erratic, apparently off-tune guitar, splashy, shuffling drums and sundry squawking horns of a track such as " Beast Of Wood" recalling Tom Waits, while the bricolage of metallic percussion and avant-twang guitar flourishes of a more astringent piece like "Shimmering Visage" owes a clear debt to Captain Beefheart.” - The Independent
