Southern / Share ‘Oh Wont You Go’ video
Following the release of their new EP, ‘Where The Wild Are’ which is out now on Marathon Artists, Southern have shared a video for one of the EP’s stand out tracks, ‘Oh Won’t You Go’. Watch the melancholy video on the band’s youtube channel here:
Southern are Belfast-born, Liverpool-based brother and sister band Thom and Lucy Southern and ‘Where The Wild Are’ is the follow up to their self titled debut EP released last year. It’s another instinctive collection of songs that veer from juggernaut-sized blues-kissed rock’n’roll to gorgeously opaque pop-noir.
Where the debut EP had a real folk vibe, ‘Where The Wild Are’ stomps and swoops, loaded with melody and the infectious delivery of Thom’s inviting vocal. It’s leftfield pop with heart. ‘Oh Won’t You Go’ sees Lucy Southern taking lead vocals for the first time, bringing a new dimension to the young band’s sound. Her vulnerable vocal, and the atmosphere it creates, recalls that of Mazzy Star’s Hope Sandoval or Victoria Bergsman of Swedish band The Concretes.
Having recently supported The Kooks on a number of sold out UK shows, and played at this year’s Great Escape festival, Southern support Thumpers at London’s Scala tonight and will play Dot to Dot festival this weekend.
