Furlined
Friday September 20th 8.30pm
Infectious hooks, rich vocals and lush, swooning cello are the defining features of Furlined. The band's sound spans alt country and wry English chamber pop – "Morrissey meets Americana" as one review put it – and they have been likened to Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Richard Hawley and Orange Juice.
