Newcomers Fossa have a beautiful sound which drifts into Grizzly Bear territory yet, still remain their particular vision on their debut EP Sea Of Skies.
Lead songwriter Louis Shadwick (vocals, guitar, keys) met guitarist Tom Dunning when he was only 14 and they quickly discovered they were on a musical wavelength, Tom's twin brother Will (bass, programming) brought the technical know-how that started Fossa’s use of electronic elements. Joseph Malpas (drums), who learned his trade playing in jazz and classical groups, met Tom whilst gigging at University, where the pair became close friends.
This is a band certainly worth looking out for in 2015. The "Sea Of Skies - EP" will be released on Limited Edition CD and Digital Download in the meantime it is available to pre-order on iTunes.
