The Coldest Winter For A Hundred Years (expanded)

by The Wild Swans

supported by

Simon Grant Describes beautiful squalor. Not only does Paul Simpson have a lovely singing voice....his speaking voice is also beautiful. Can't wait for the book. Favorite track: The Coldest Winter For A Hundred Years.

isaacpt An incredibly beautiful (yet often very catchy) album from start to finish. One of the best lyricists (and vocalists) in UK indie rock history. The "hidden" gems at the end of the album, particularly My Town and Lost At Sea, are not to be missed! One of my favorite albums of all-time... Favorite track: Lost At Sea.

VIN What an album. Lyrically and musically superb. Stunning piece of work. Favorite track: The Bluebell Wood.

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über. https://tortue.substack.com/i/140348114/slowdive-everything-is-alive-dead-oceans Daniel Welsch

What a joy to find this on bandcamp, having missed out on the vinyl rerelease. I'd only heard Strawberry Window prior to this, but I love that song and have done since first hosting it on Radio Scotland, back in the late 80s. This is exactly my kind of music, layered, anthemic guitars and great melodies. At times, it brings to mind another great lost band, The Train Set. Fabulous stuff. richardw27
