Le Sang Song are a folk band of sorts. However theirs is a skewed folk, mixing in all manner of styles and instruments, but never at the expense of the song or the rhythm. Their self-titled album was actually recorded in 2007, but only got a limited release at the start of this year.

Gingerella is a case in point. It is right up MM’s street – oppressive and skittery on the one hand, but underpinned by a hypnotic groove and a frugal, tense guitar line that determinedly burrows its way into your head. Overall the feel is bleak and uneasy, and imparts a sense of foreboding that makes the song both memorable and compelling.
