   Thompson Falls - New Album Release
Overspill Poets debut album Thompson Falls is out now.

Formed from the ashes of Hug who released three EPs and an album on Kitchenware in the 90's and were hotly tipped by the NME, Radio 1 and Mark Radcliffe, Overspill Poets head out in a new direction, blending driving alternative rock and alt country guitar jangle with vocals that root them firmly in the North of England. Like "Bob Mould crashing into REM on Johnny Cash's iPod." File under "Ultimate Driving Music".

"Each piece rolls into the next like chapters in a story. These songs mix lo-fi with lush Americana, although their Northern indie roots are never for once forgotten... The guitar work is at times astonishing."
- Subba-Cultcha

	I won't comment on classification, but it's actually good. The singer reminds me of Richard Sinclair of Caravan.
	Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.
