What a dawn awakening of an opening, the kind of folk that is as tender as can be. The romance extends from the playing to the singing, taking us back to the days when it was extolled without one eye on who was listening in. That is what sets Bear’s Den apart for me, reaching for the old folk way of doing things without needless embellishment. Finally a romantic song to fall in love with. Evocative and breathtaking in its simplicity, from one of London’s best kept secrets new EP ‘First Loves’. Are you already feeling better? KH
