REVIEW: Little Red - Siren Song (Single)

By Gig Monkey

Any new release from Oxfords Little Red has so far been a welcome event, and this single release ahead of their next album ‘Draw Blood’ is a real little gem. Moving on from their trademark layered folk style ‘Siren Song’ strays into a more Americana / country style, swaggering through a clever (as always) blend of voices played out over an equally cleverly realised and atmospheric musical track. This is the first listen we get of their new, expanded sound, complete with rhythm section, an expansion that works brilliantly well and leaves me excited about the album.

B-side ‘Mr Wolf’ is a live version of one of the standout tracks on last EP ‘The Huntsman’, and a beautiful rendering at that too, even down to the background creaking of floorboards that can be heard. The package as a whole is a fantastic shout for the new record. Can’t wait.
