WIND BURN & BROKEN OAK
THE AUTUMN SAINTS are an Anglo-American band based in Oxford, UK. The group’s sound has its roots planted firmly in the American South paired with the vibrant energy and ambiance of British post-punk and indie rock. The band was discovered by seminal music industry veteran, Nick Stewart, the man who signed The Long Ryders, U2 and Killing Joke. The band’s new album, Wind Burn & Broken Oak, has been described as “The Band meets War on Drugs.”
Lead singer Britt Strickland brings the soulful, weighty music history of his home state of North Carolina to the City of Dreaming Spires. The southern storytelling tradition made famous by the likes of Dylan and Johnny Cash is very much alive in the Saints’ music, with tales of hurricanes sweeping through the Appalachian Mountains and rural encounters at the lonely crossroads.
The British influence in the band, though, is also unmistakeable. The melodic, ethereal guitar lines that float and weave through the songs create the sort of atmospheric depth that British indie groups have always done so well. Both David Ireland (guitar) and Martin Gallagher (drums) bring their own musical influences to
the sound, from the shuffling rhythms and counter-rhythms of groups like the Stone Roses to the twisting, choppy guitar licks of Wilko Johnson. Nick Bennett (Hammond Organ, lapsteel and harmonies) brings vivid roots flavour to the mix.
