Release Notes:
Steeple represents the emergence of a fully fledged band from the
fragmented, haunted bedroom meanderings of their Tidings singles
compilation, released earlier this year. Recorded in a converted
chicken barn on the grounds of a 17th century Welsh mansion, Steeple
takes on a heavier sound while maintaining the arabesque electric
guitars, groove-laden drums and ethereal vocals that characterised its
predecessor.
together in the country,' the quartet did it anyway, inspired by the
rural isolation of West Wales to conjure shifting rhythms, entrancing
folksong and smoke-fogged, riff-stoked jams. From the stuttered,
flute-led earworm hook of 'Tiny Circle' to the churning, twisted ball
of metal that is 'One By One From Dorney Reach,' Steeple sounds as
massive as the setting in which it was laid to tape and is full of the
nuggets that many a rock fan spend lifetimes among crates in search of.
art is coming to them from.
Steeple captures a band in metamorphosis, bridging frontman Jack
Sharp's earlier solo efforts and the speaker-shearing attack developed
in concert over the past four years. Now an accomplished live unit,
Wolf People have shared stages with the likes of The Besnard Lakes,
Dinosaur Jr, Dungen, Endless Boogie, Lightning Dust and Tinariwen.
Proud of their heritage, both musical and cultural, Wolf People's
vision faithfully reflects the myriad environments the group's members
appreciable set of songs for this age or any other.
Wolf People will embark on a UK headline tour in October, dates to
follow. In the meantime festival goers can catch them at Green Man and
End Of The Road this summer.
