Mail For Sil proves that modern Americana/Folk can still sound innovative and different. Their songs are catchy, lush, rugged yet tender compositions with imaginative lyrics. Their music is dedicated to storytelling and exploring contradictory themes such as homesickness and belonging, isolation and connection, self-sabotage and healing. For fans of Karen Dalton, Fairport Convention, Buck Meek, Laura Marling, and Sharon von Etten. After playing sold-out stages with Coos, FEMI, and Jacob Drescher, among others, during their triple-bill folk tour, they plan to release three brand-new singles in the coming six months.
Sean Gascoigne is like a musical octopus; he plays guitars, drums, harmonica, sp404 and sings all at the same time. Known for is one-man-band act but also does an occasional surprise show with a full band. His music is fast, slow, loud, soft, pretty and ugly, his lyrics are bitter-sweet with a cynical and dark edge. His shows are funny, awkward, sarcastic and real. All of his music he created all on his own in his fully analog studio, playing all the instruments himself, creating layer upon layer of sound on his tape machines. Sean Gascoigne, the sound Painter.
For fans of: (early)Beck, Dr. Dog, Picasso and Wes Anderson.
