MY CROOKED SAINT

Not so long ago you couldn't turn a radio on in the UK without hearing a brand new ukulele/banjo led band, storming mainstream radio shows with their old fashioned styled folk style mixed with new age stories. Although fads come and go from the pop charts, good music never does.

To Kill A King, hailing from Leeds, are a band who would probably fit quite comfortably into that nu-folk category mainly due to the low-pitched, story-telling style of the singer Ralph Pelleymounter. But really though, they are just a good, mellow, rock band with elements of folk, sounding a mixture of Noah and The Whale, Wild Beasts and The National.

Their only EP to date, My Crooked Saint, is a beaut and has built quite a lot of expectation for the full length album due for release later this year. For each of the songs on My Crooked Saint there is a short film that when played consecutively make a longer short film. Below is the whole EP in longer short film form:

I: Bloody Shirt
II: We Used to Protest / Gamble
III: Family
IV: Wrecking Crew

 

Hej då!
