<\/a>One Mile an Hour<\/a> are: Jeff Kightly (guitar\/vox), Matt Day (bass\/vox) and Dave Goldsmith (drums\/keys\/vox). They have just released their debut record, with songs influenced by Scandinavian landscapes and stories, but recorded almost entirely near the sea on the southern coast of England.<\/p>\n

It’s folk music, I guess, or at least it is mostly<\/i> folk music. Folk music with subtle muscle and patches of contemplative noodling. It’s dark, it’s light, it’s beautiful. It’s a walk along a windswept shore, with the current tugging at your ankles and treasure shimmering beneath the foamy breakers. <\/p>\n

I’m pulling out three songs here to serve as enticements, but I encourage you to sit down with a refreshing beverage and listen to the whole thing all the way through.

\nFirst up: Sunken Ships<\/i>, for a number of reasons. It is the first song on the record; it was the first song I listened to, because I like to do these things in order and because I have a weakness for songs about ships; and after I heard it I wanted to hear the rest of the record because I wanted to see where they were going with what they were doing.
