cousin leonard, (singer/songwriter brothers Marty & Tom Williams), capture melodies and harmonies with mesmerising beauty, and at the same time are creating an Australian sound that is exciting and new, crossing the boundaries of folk/pop and world music. With lyrics that touch the soul, and their distinctive acoustic/earthy sound, they have been compared with the likes of Tim and Neil Finn, Crosby Stills Nash & Young and Simon & Garfunkle, with a relaxed delivery akin to the sounds of David Gray and Jack Johnson. They are currently in the mastering stages of a new ambient/world music style album, ‘MIZU’, which involved the talents of many Australian writers and performers, including Chris Wilson, Nicky Bomba and Kerrianne Cox (due for release in the very near future). They are also mid way through recording the follow-up to their debut EP ‘SilverFly’, which is scheduled for a September 2003 release. |
