The marvellous o’death are back with a new album of fiery, gothic-tinged folk and bluegrass that is as authentic as the Appalachians from which they could be hewn. Having been away for a couple of years, Out Of Hands We Go brings a wonderfully refreshing contrast to the plethora of faux traditionalists that have sprung up like weeds in their absence. This is intense, spine-tingling stuff, adventurous … Continue reading o’death To Release Out Of Hands We Go

Happyness To Release Anything I Do Is All Right EP

It is fair to say that the Happyness debut album Weird Little Birthday has been one of our discoveries of the year so far, woozy, odd, imaginative and captivating in equal measure.
