FURLINED BIOGRAPHY
Wry lyrics, rich vocals and lush, swooning cello are the defining features of Furlined, a Bristol band formed around the songwriting talents of vocalist/guitarist Neil Crossley. Described as ‘Morrissey meets Americana’, Furlined blend alt country influences andBritish chamber pop sensibilities, with life-affirming themes set against suburban longings and everyday regrets. “Furlined bring a genuine beauty to ordinary things,” concluded Rock‘n’Reel in its review of the band’s second album Win A Dream Wedding. MOJO was equally effusive: ‘Neil Crossley has one of those Jackie Leven /Richard Hawley voices that do male vulnerability beautifully… a band with distinct aural charms’.
ALBUM REVIEWS
“Songwriter Neil Crossley has one of those winning, strong yet gentle Jackie Leven / Richard Hawley baritones that do male vulnerability beautifully. Furlined's other striking sound is Tegan Everett's cello, which intros most of Crossley's dark-honey melodies… A band with distinct aural charms.” Mojo ****
“There’s a definite chamber-pop richness to what’s played here, but there’s also an almost palpable sense of wanting to find something life-affirming in suburban longings and everyday regrets. Crossley brings a genuine beauty to ordinary things, through luxuriant vocals and wryly-observational lyrics.” Rock 'N' Reel ****
“A charming and individual debut of rare depth. There is a womb-like intimacy to their sound, centred around Crossley’s engaging and darkly humorous lyrics and the delightful cello sparring.”
**** Clash Magazine
“Stripped-down Americana with a topping of 80s pop. Great stuff.”
**** Maverick
“Morrissey meets Americana – superb songs with an irresistible English wit.”
Total Guitar
“There’s no denying that Love Comes In Canisters is a memorably powerful album… if it were a drama it would be kitchen sink because this is an album that deals in stark reality.”
