The Fox and the Bramble

Chaotic and twee, this charming duo are from Reading in England. Armed with acoustic guitars, a ukulele named 'Eliza Little' and an array of toy instruments, The Fox and the Bramble create lo-fi bedroom songs which veer from delicate finger picking to shouty mayhem.
Their lyrics are as much inspired by fables and animals as loss and heartache.
Their influences range from the warm hiss of Leonard Cohen's early records to Bon Iver's self-produced debut via Dinosaur Jr, Joanna Newsom and Bonnie 'Prince' Billy.
