About us


"For a band that quotes fermented hops as their first influence can't be bad in my books...this one, The Low Countries, just keeps growing on me. Indie folk at it's best with a home-grown realism about it...I love it and yes I do recommend drinking fermented hops when you have a listen...just to get you into the mood! There are a lot of influences quoted in reviews I've read but there's no need, they have their own sound and can stand on their own, that's unique these days. We will be hearing more of them, I'm sure of it!"

“..The Low Countries: splendid melancholia which sounds like a North Country version of Golden Smog or Josh Rouse. Nigel Parrington is definitely onto something” Howard Byrom, The Lancaster Guardian

'shades of Ryan Adams...Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris...elsewhere Tell Her could be lifted from the Beatles' back catalogue...' www.folking.com
