We must admit when we first heard Shoo, the debut album by Lionlimb, we thought they were destined for far bigger things than seem to have come their way so far. A spectacular fusion of jazz, introspective indie-folk and prog, it’s probably one of the most interesting albums we’ve heard all year, but for many Lionlimb still seem to be pigeonholed as Angel Olsen’s backing band.
On a short tour of the UK, hopefully the band will start getting noticed for their own music, because it’s truly spectacular. The smooth soul of God Knows, the heartbreak with bass-saxophones of Domino, and the spectacular Turnstile which has a drum beat more interesting than some bands entire albums; Lionlimb are a fascinating prospect.
Lionlimb “Shoo” out March 4th, 2016.
