Golden Fable - Ancient Blue

Review by Will Moss

Golden Fable are a band who are clearly aiming high, the only problem is that they are trying to sound like they are already there»

Hailing from North Wales Golden Fable are Rebecca Palins, TimMcIver and Jack McCarthy and released their debut album 'Star Maps' in 2012 - an album constructed from electronic beats, synths and processed effects alongside guitars, pianos and strings. Recorded in Snowdonia with David Wrench (Bats for Lashes / Caribou) and Jimmy Robertson (Anna Calvi), 'Ancient Blue' is an impassioned, more intense and bolder recording than its predecessor. On 'Ancient Blue' Golden Fable move between the heart-wrenching stillness of Low or Dead Can Dance and the textural electronica of The Album leaf or M83, with Rebacca Palin's vocals drawing comparisons with Cocteau Twins Liz Frazer.
