Woven Bird, an alt-pop band from Southampton, UK, have release their new single Saw You In Two b/w A Curse Heaven Sent. It's folk music with a twist. Melodic on the outside, with smart chord changes on the inside. The lyrics deal with girl trouble, which isn't hard to guess when you look at the song titles. The protagonist sings about his wish to be a magician an be be able to Saw in Two the subject of his desire in two. A Curse Heaven Sent is a tune that could have been created by The Coral had they tried to channel The Smiths.
This is a band that manages to sound light and dark at the same time, carrying on the tradition of smart UK folk: great musicianship joining hands with lyrical prowess.
