Phantom Limb
The Phantom Limb sound is an indefinable blend of classic southern soul and country blues. They blend modern songwriting and rich acoustic music with powerful gospel-inflected vocals. Already comparisons are being made to Mavis Staples, Aretha Franklin and The Band. Their honest, melancholic, Bristolian edge creates one of the most original and compelling new propositions of recent years. [ MYSPACE] |

Jump Ship
Light and shade. Beauty and ruin. Jump Ship inject style into Trip Hop. Synthetic complexity is aligned with the acoustic nuances of cello and guitar to support an ecliptic, dark and disarming feminine vocal charm. Conflicting the classic and the contemporary, the Bath based sextet’s perfectly balanced yet authoritative glimmer of the future resonates the passive, aggressive and progressive. [ MYSPACE] |

‘Bumble Bees’ Jump
Ship
cs119 (iTUNES EXCLUSIVE SINGLE)
Bumble Bees is reminiscent of haunting, atmospheric Massive Attack-esque beats, decorated by driving electric guitars, dirty bass and slick programming. At the forefront of Bumble Bee’s infectious obscurity is Louise Coady’s strapping vocal performance. Bumble Bees has received heavy support from BBC Introducing…so watch this space!
