Having started as lost at sea dreaming landlubbers, Nottingham's August Actually have developed into playful folk-pop storytellers. On the A-side of their new single, out tomorrow, they sound like a budget Decemberists, alert semi-funky beats and wandering violin decorating the pastoral tackling what they describe as "the dual themes of supernatural transformation and love".
I have to say I love this two song collection (and the band generally) --- and the Decemberists allusion explains a lot to me as I totally HEART The Decemberists. No wonder I like AA!
