Acoustic duo Swallow and the Wolf have built their sound from picked acoustic guitar, bass heavy piano lines, lo-fi drums, rich cello lines and melodic vocal harmonies. Their songs manage to be both intimate and epic, balancing poetic lyrics with widescreen sounds. Three Eps into their recording career, they´ve received much acclaim thus far- here´s some of what´s being said about them in the media...
´Russell Swallow is an acoustic evangelist…clearly a man with poetry in his soul´- Tom Robinson, BBC6 music
´very, very beautiful´ - Chris Hawkins, BBC6 music
´the romantics of Fleet Foxes, the upbeat poppiness of Patrick Wolf, and the brooding of Nick Drake and Jeff Buckley´- For Folk´s Sake
