The debut album from this band from Great Britain.
The band was a duo with a lineup of guitar, keyboards and vocals.
Three guests added drums, bass and backing vocals.
This band is a cooperation between Steve Rothery (Marillion) and a Hannah Stobart. It was more or less a Marillion side project too although the music is pretty far away from what Marillion's world.
The Wishing Tree released two albums and I will publish my review of their final album some time next week.
Carnival Of Souls clocks in at three quarters of an hour.
The music is a blend of folk rock and dream pop.
Both Hannah and Steve are the stars here. Hannah for her vocals and Steve on his guitars.
The music is mid-tempo, melodic and warm. It has some sparse instrumentations. The sound is therefore airy and open.
The music is still surprisingly complex. It is also surprisingly good. I had never heard of this and their two albums before I purchased both albums. This album is a hidden gem and one to check out.
