Bookended by snippets of cathedral ambience, The Seven Sleepers Den is a reverential listen the whole way through. Tir  Mor sets the tone sweetly, with James’ folky finger-picking, reverberating background harmonies and spacey zither. My Hearts On Fire’s poppy stroll, Wanna See You Die’s burnt-out stomp and Headlong’s melancholy chant round out an astonishing, handsome listen . Then the cathedral kicks in and it’s all over. Uncut gave The Seven Sleepers Den 4 stars and Mojo said it was “a record that shines brilliantly”.
James will be known to you as the guitarist in psychedelic Welsh wizards Gorky's Zygotic Mynci. After achieving worldwide success over 8 albums of whim and wonder, Richard decided to go solo. The stunning result, The Seven Sleepers Den, is a gorgeous mix of pastoral folk, frazzled hoe-downs and tender ballads that won him legions of new fans across the world.
