The fabulous Irish five-piece outfit I Draw Slow have released a new video for Souvenirs from their third album White Wave Chapel which Paul reviewed back in April (read the review here). This particular track made quite an impression:
“Souvenirs is the first sign that you’re listening to something special, a lovely melody allied to a fragile vocal with a lullaby-simplicity reminiscent of Patty Griffin at her most delicate…Souvenirs is the hook that sinks you, because White Wave Chapel is that rarest of beasts; an album that gets better the longer it goes on.”
The band know how to make a good video, that’s something they’ve shown on more then one occasion and Souvenirs is no exception. Filmed at the National Museum of Ireland surrounded by natural history exhibits it gives that added twist to Louise Holden’s opening lyrics as she sings of the first souvenir, a pinned ‘Little Tiger Moth, brittle from the years…’
Don’t miss them on 20th July at the SummerTyne Americana Festival 2014, Gateshead. More dates here: http://www.idrawslow.com/
