About 35 years ago, Michael Hiscock earned a prominent place in music history with The Field Mice and their releases on Sarah Records that have stood the test of time. He is back for round two. Together with Emilie Guillaumot and Jérémie Orsel, he founded The Gentle Spring, and their debut album Looking Back At The World is everything you could hope for after the first introduction on the second Under The Bridge compilation. The trio—based in France—delivers ten subdued works of art with beautiful acoustic guitar melodies and male-female vocals that complement each other wonderfully, but it’s the little stories—from unrequited love to hard-won joy—that really make this record shine. Echoes of the past, songs of the present, touching in every way.
Looking Back At The World, recorded by Ian Catt, is out now digitally, on CD and vinyl LP, through Skep Wax Records. Featuring Michael Hiscock (vocals, guitar, bass), Emilie Guillaumot (vocals, keyboard) en Jérémie Orsel (guitar).
