Nathan Bell’s album Black Crow Blue is one of those records that has an almost cinematic, widescreen feel whilst retaining a lovely, honest intimacy through its literate, considered lyrics and gently strummed acoustics.

There are stories, laments and learning here – almost in equal measure – in songs to be listened to, absorbed and understood. For to do so will surely make you a smarter and wiser person.

Black Crow Blue has been out since the summer. Buy the album from CD baby here.
