Liverpool based all girl trio Stealing Sheep have just added the final touches to their latest record, ‘The Mountain Dogs’. Set for a Limited Vinyl release on Valentines Day.
The new single marries lo-fi production with elements of quirky electronica and a wild, catchy vocal harmony. The four track ‘maxi single brings together effortless vocals, enchantingly melded with intelligent rhythmic patterns and bass organs, creating a sonic
patchwork stitched with tremolo guitar chords and earthy melodies.
Championed by various BBC 6 music presenters, not to
mention Sir Paul McCartney, Stealing Sheep’s tracks are beautifully honest to the band’s live
shows. On stage the girls appear in Velvet Underground formation, behind two mounted tom toms, an electric guitar and vintage synths. Then a whirlwind of psychedelia ensues, captivating ears and minds.
Thanks to Moe Tucker-style drums, 60's psych-pop, off-kilter swirl guitars, 80s’ synth beats and water-tight vocal harmonies, these euphonious popsters are the next big thing for lovers of all things rooted in fable, fantasy and harmony. If Feist, Animal Collective, Micachu, Bjork, Cocorosie and Little Dragon are your
cup of tea, then consider the kettle boiled....more

Well, does it live up to the hype? It's okay, not as good as 'Loops' or the 'Fenella' stuff; i doubt i'll be listening to it in full very often.
Her mojo is waneing in my 'umble opinion. vykr
Just a great and varied collection of songs from all sorts of different acts. I buy this festival record annually and will continue to do so. Gavin Hellyer
