Occasional Keepers

True North CD

LTM
LTM present True North, the second album from The Occasional Keepers, an ongoing studio collaboration between songwriters Bobby Wratten (Field Mice, Trembling Blue Stars) and Carolyn Allen and Caesar (The Wake). True North was recorded and produced by the Keepers with Ian Catt (St Etienne) in London in February 2008. Guest musician Beth Arzy (Aberdeen, Trembling Blue Stars) features on The Life Of The Fields. Retaining plenty of acoustic, reflective elements from the previous album, this release adds experimental, song-based pop touches to great effect. Track listing: If The Ravens Leave/The Cricket Laced Midnight/Town Of 85 Lights/Leave The Secret There Forever/The Life Of The Fields/Factory Records/I've Realized/Snow And Feathers/Elsinore/A Distant Piano On A Foggy Night. Praise for The Occasional Keepers: "This Sarah supergroup lives up to the expectations that come from such an important meeting of musical minds, and there's a real synergy here" (Exclaim!); "Often the smallest touches have the greatest impact, like dropping a bomb on a calm hillside" (All Music Guide); "An album of rainy day melancholia and innocent beauty" (Leonard's Lair); "Lovely bubble-bath pop and slo-mo waltz" (Teletext).
