we've left it too long to re-paint it in ever-green.


...

This Brighton trio are named after a Danish fairytale, where the runt of a family becomes the hero in the end, so it's basically a Joseph tale, without an amazing technicolour dreamcoat. The band themself, however, sound more like if Florence Welch from Florence & The Machine fronted The xx; It's minimal scrumptiousness with haunting vocals.


You can catch them live at an Eat Your Own Ears event at Hobby Horse, Kingsland Road, London, 4th February OR 11th February, Manchester, The Deaf Institute OR The Jericho, Oxford, 13th February. Expect to see a porcelain owl with them.

p.s. Here's the latest WHAT DO YOU DANCE? BIGTIME. which includes a song by Esben & The Witch.
