Hangover Square
Bristol
Soul stirring Americana and cinematic folk-blues. Hangover Square elegantly combine influences as varied as folk, blues, classical, world music and electronica. Expect, synths, slide guitar, layered voices, orchestral samples and electronically produced beats. In a word…folktronica.
They are Bristol-based husband and wife duo Victoria Bourne and Chris Harper. Two highly experienced professional musicians who have been played widely across the radio including having been playlisted on BBC Radio 2, they have toured extensively across the UK and in Europe.
Victoria’s voice has a classical purity and laser clarity creating poetic structures. Underpinned with her piano and synth parts which blend with Chris’s creative resonator guitar playing, taking in intricate fingerpicking and driving rhythms. Delicate vocal harmonies float over a velvet wash of sound iridescent, cinematic, and rich in texture.
