The New Eves, an avant-folk band based in Brighton, England, have released their new single ‘Astrolabe’, released on March 4th from Slow Dance Recordings/Broadside Hacks!
Recorded at Cotham Parish Church in Bristol, engineered by Joe Jones and Bingo Fury.
Their unique atmosphere makes it easy to understand why they quickly became one of the most popular bands. With SXSW in March, The Great Escape in May, and Green Man Festival in August, I think its popularity will accelerate.
“Drawing inspiration from lovers across the centuries; from the love letters between Heloise and Abelard in medieval France to Bonnie and Clyde’s romantic partnership in crime in 1930s America, the New Eves bring you something that feels both modern and ancient. The songs’ refrain, ‘Many are the stars I see, but in my eyes no star like thee’ can be found on a 17th golden ‘poesy’ ring that is housed in the British museum, once given as a love token. The line embodies the feeling of the song, of a love that is both fated and cosmic.”
