Babe Shadow
Posted by Camille on 10 February 2010
Despite the quavering, hillbilly vocals and penchant for cowbells, we’re not going to sling Tom Cawte and Dave Thornley – aka Babe Shadow – onto the Mumford and Marling-led New Folk pile. This Kent-grown duo have a far laxer, glitzier spring in their step (check out their demos at http://www.myspace.com/babeshadowband), a band full of T. Rex references and glam-folk ditties to fall head-over-heels in lust to.
Now under the wing of Florence and the Machine’s management team, they’re set to support on her forthcoming UK ‘Cosmic Love Tour’. Following that and the release of their EP at the end of April, Babe Shadow will be as irresistible as rolling down Glastonbury’s grassy look-out point this summer.
Hear the wonderful ‘Heart’ here .
