Wicker Bones

Wicker Bones latest single titled Ceannt Fort is the result of 2 years work and teases some of the new material to be found on their upcoming debut LP, scheduled for release later this year. It demonstrates an exciting new shift in the bands musical direction. Absorbing, swelling soundscapes, intense melodies and compelling lyrics hint at an album from a band very much at their creative peak.
