History

After playing live throughout the United Kingdom to much critical acclaim, with the likes of iLiKETRAiNS and The Twilight Sad,^[1] they released their debut album, The Heritage, in 2008, which was also positively acclaimed,^[2]^[3] and was followed by a well-received headlining tour.^[2]^[4] The album lasts over 50 minutes, despite only containing six tracks.

In February 2009, they announced their arrival on the German label, Denovali Records. Denovali re-released The Heritage on vinyl in late 2009.

The band released The Quiet Lamb, containing 12 tracks and lasting over 75 minutes, on 8 November 2010. NME gave it a score of 8/10, describing it as "massive, pastorally apocalyptic music".^[5] The Sun called it a "ten-track jewel of a record" that engages the listener "in a rare and beautiful way".^[6]

Lead vocalist Tom Morris also tours and releases music as a solo artist under the name T E Morris, as does multi instrumentalist Adam Weikert as 'Weikie'
