From opener Sunken Heart, which pulls off the difficult trick of being both muscular and melancholy, <br />like a sad poet on steroids, and Ride Around, which could actually be Parsons (with Debbie Brown as Emmylou to Will Odgers's Gram), to the slow country grace of Out On The Waves, this is a band that touch a lot of bases but never stay on them for too long.<br />A remarkable, assured and, despite that, never dull and often gorgeous collection <br />(David Quantick)<br />http://www.thestandingwaves.co.uk<br /><br />CREDITS / SPONSORS <br />CITY PARTNER // VISIT EXETER. http://www.visitexeter.com<br />AUDIO PRODUCTION // BIG TREE. http://www.bigtreestudio.co.uk<br />VIDEOGRAPHER // CATE CALDER<br />VENUE // SAMUEL JONES. http://www.samueljonesexeter.co.uk<br /><br />Tune in again to BalconyTV //
