Velvet & Stone – Oh Boy
Velvet & Stone - Oh Boy
Release Date: Out Now
There is a real resurgence of
original, contemporary folk in the South West at the moment with the likes of
Wildwood Kin, Harbottle & Jonas, the Porbeagles, Sound of the Sirens and
others all producing superb music within the genre. Joining them on this journey
of discovery are Exeter quartet Velvet & Stone and their new single, ‘Oh
Boy’, is just beautiful. The pulsing beat and shuffle that opens this one up is
bristling with energy, soothed only by the smooth, dusky vocals until the rest
of the band come crashing in, bursting in to life. If you close your eyes you
are transported to a small, low ceilinged tavern somewhere on a remote bridle
path with locals and travellers dancing arm in arm to the meandering melody of
the violin and the throb of that beat that just won’t quit. It’s a little bit
folk, a little bit Celtic, a little bit country and a whole lot of fun – come
join the folk revolution, it might be cold outside but there’s a warm welcome
awaiting you inside.
