Fossil Collective, a two-piece from Leeds, consists of multi instrumentalists David Fendick and Jonny Hooker. Their first recordings saw them taking inspiration from classic albums by Neil Young, Fleetwood Mac and Simon and Garfunkel and suggested comparisons with more contemporary artists such as Fleet Foxes, Midlake and Bon Iver. But in truth their exquisitely structured songs and glorious, rich harmonies owe as much, if not more, to a solid English song tradition, and their material holds that distinct English quality that many North American artists hanker after.
“These guys are up-and-coming talents that are going to be up there among the indie-folk elite.” – Obscure Sound
Fossil Collective play Venue 1 at Hare & Hounds Birmingham on Thursday 18th October 2012, presented by Birmingham Promoters. Tickets available here.
