Beautiful, evocative indie-folk with a Celtic flavour by trio of Evelyn Gray (previously of Tapir!) on guitar/vocals, Suzie Nicholls on bass, and Sophia Bartlett on violin, heralding the forthcoming project I Am Building a House (out on My Life is Big) which also includes a novel.

I enter the room to find statues of machinery, piles of cogs and walls decorated with mesh and wire and cuckoo clocks.
