Little Red are a folk trio from the south of England. I first heard them on the excellent Bob's Folk Show in 2014. Little Red are inspired by the traditional and the contemporary according to their Facebook page.
Little Red comprises: Ian Mitchell, Ben Gosling and Hayley Bell.
That's What They All Say was released in 2014 and is available on all the usual music download sites.
Track listing:
1. What Say You - Has a bright guitar sound and incorporates both male and female vocals. The song deals with relationship difficulties or is it something more sinister...
2. The Cause - This track talks of drunken fornication, and talks to me of a man's regret for leaving the cause. Perhaps also a relationship track? Upbeat, musically interesting with very clear vocals.
3. Petal - Long than the first two tracks but with a longer music break and less lyrics. A rose is used as a metaphor for a relationship here and again we have male and female vocalists. Hayley Bell's solo is lovely here.
4. Cures - This song oozes melancholy, an aching loss of a lover.
5. The Garden - The final track is the longest track on the EP and perhaps the most musically complex track. The title of the EP is found within the track. Again love and perhaps the loss it features within this track.
This EP is modern folk at its finest. Nothing is overdone and all of the tracks are well produced. The talents of musicians and vocalists shines through here. I've been listening to this EP for a while now it's not lost it's shine.
