Out of the cold damp earth, a Sprig has sprung! Playful guitar and keyboard parts, object clatter and noisy murmurs, rustling up from a private mole hole in South London many moons ago.
“Spring was moving in the air above and in the earth below and around him, penetrating even his dark and lowly little house with its spirit of divine discontent and longing.”

The Sprigs is Rory Salter, Ben Murphy & Ben Waggett. Their new album 'For Red Riverbank' is available from Bison Records
'Armed with guitars, pipes, samples and bric-a-brac, it’d be easy for the Sprigs to succumb to a totally romanticised nostalgia for an imagined British folkloric tradition. There’s enough of it going around. Instead, the gang create a ramshackle, ruddy faced blend of introspective hibernation, real-world anxiety and some absolutely knee slapping, joy inducing tunes.'
