Into The Dark is a brooding and moving selection of folk rock tracks that has the ability to build up to epic proportions. Harmonies are ever present and the music is tight and sounds effortless; a very sophisticated and mature effort that the London four-piece can feel proud of

Man, a perfect opener for the four-track EP consists of gloomy undertones and thought provoking lyrics of despair with Phil Fiddle s fiddle perfectly holding the music together throughout the song, which is brilliantly finished by an immense, escalating wave of sound Goldmine has heavy usage of harmonies and, combined with the music carries a feeling of being knocked down and getting up again; an oddly inspiring piece. Let Yourself Love carries a strong sense of desperation and has single potential all over it, exceptional lyrics and touching melodies that seem to get beneath your skin. Shine is reminiscent of some country-esque Conor Oberst work; with nice and gentle music carrying the softly spoken words, which seems to resemble quiet after the emotional storm of the previous tracks.
