Coventry-based lo-fi folk duo Stylusboy announce the release of their 'Lantern' EP on July 29 thru Wild Sound.
Stylusboy is the creation of Coventry chap Steve Jones and Northern lass Rachel Grisedale. Their music is deliberately stripped-back, purposefully honest, capturing raw emotion at its heart. Jones’ delicate guitar lines and Grisedale’s sumptuous harmony work create gorgeous melodies that bring to mind the first rush of love, the warm summer air and the English countryside bathed in sunlight.
In March 2013 Stylusboy signed to acoustic label Wild Sound, and combining their signature home-spun recording techniques with performances and production assistance from Polly Paulusma created this EP, the appetiser for the feast to follow – a full-length album before the end of the year. Each physical EP copy is unique, painstakingly hand-crafted in Stylusboy’s loving tradition.
BBC 6Music’s Tom Robinson says: “A leading light among today’s new generation of DIY digital troubadours, Stylusboy’s music reflects their open, yet fiercely independent nature. Whether playing solo house concerts or theatre shows with a full band, everything they do is connected, committed and community-oriented. These are songwriters whose developing career I’ve been keenly following, and which many musicians twice their age would do well to emulate.”
