It is probably fair to say that The Cave Singers, Black Mountain and Lightning Dust are all bands that would feature prominently in an all time MM Best of list, and all have given us some of our favourite live shows that we’ve ever seen.

So it is a joy to discover Kodiak Deathbeds, not as one might guess a punk or hardcore industrial noise merchants, but a new project of quite exquisite fingerpicked folk from the Cave Singers’ Derek Fudesco and Black Mountain and Lightning Dust’s Amber Webber.

Their self-titled album is available on Bandcamp and is an absolute gem from first note to the last. Listen to a couple of tracks below – the achingly beautiful Wild Hearts and the gently hypnotic Borderline.

Highly recommended.
