Haunting harmonies and incredible melodies from nu folk band 'Son of Eagle.
Their first ever album 'From the Ground', is a inspired journey generating impressive organic sounds and has a different take on the current popular folk culture. BBC Nottingham are big fans of the bands work and invited the UK folk band to play the album during a live studio session.
Due for release on 29th March 2011, the debut album by Son of Eagle combines nu folk, traditional folk and country to offer a refreshing take on the currently popular folk culture.
Right after a string of terrific performances all through the United kingdom while revelling in the popularity connected with their earliest EP Take Me Back, Son of Eagle eventually awakened to the fact it was time to create their first album, From the Ground. As with their EP, all recordings ended up being generated from one microphone; while not at the same time. Playing with alternative sounds and timbres made by just about every musical instrument was in fact a significant compound for the creation of the album; Sarah on strings found the microphone no more than centimetres away from her face, incredibly close to her bow, stimulating the rich overtones of the strings to come through, whilst Ben the lead singer, discovered his bathroom was the best suited acoustic to be able to provide his vocals the crucial haunting sound needed for 'Sunlight'.
The recording, from the first song through to the last, shows a genuine original process for the band. The album title From the Ground adequately describes the natural and organic nature of cd - there are no adjustments to note pitch, it possesses a fresh level of quality relating to it with every second carefully thought through.
The band takes the albums listener upon a voyage of discovery via suggestions of country, traditional and nu folk music together with mesmerising, expressive and haunting melodies.
Son of Eagle have previously performed the album throughout a studio session for BBC Nottingham and several local radio stations have chosen the initial single HIM as well as several other tracks from the album. The tracks have already been attaining very favorable reviews from both radio stations together with fans.
The album can be streamed in full from Soundcloud and will be available to buy from iTunes from 29/03/11.
