SHAY TAL Bring In All The Horses CDR (Stone Premonitions)
A few years ago there was a band called Shay, comprising Stephen Robson (ex-Punishment of Luxury) and Finn Millar. Shay Tal is their latest incarnation, and they have this 4-song EP out on the continually recommended Stone Premonitions label. Finn has a distinctive vocal style, comparable perhaps to Kate Bush. The music is classic songwriting that transcends genre, and adds a lot of creative touches and unusual instrumentation (woodwind, autoharp, off-kilter keyboard sounds, atmospheric choral-style backing vocals). Shay Tal are amazingly talented artists - I can highly recommend this EP.
