We're super excited to announce the release of 'Out Like A Lion', the new single by American duo <a title="Brother Earth" href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/project/brother-earth/">Brother Earth</a>, a collaboration between multi-instrumentalist/producer <a title="Todd Tobias" href="http://hiddenshoal.com/project/todd-tobias/">Todd Tobias</a> (Circus Devils, Robert Pollard, GBV producer) and vocalist Steve Five (<a title="The Library Is On Fire" href="https://www.facebook.com/thelibraryisonfire" target="_blank">The Library is on Fire</a>). ‘Out Like A Lion’ is taken from their forthcoming album <em>Positive Haywires</em> (16th Sept 2014) through Hidden Shoal.

Negotiating the smoky ambience of ‘Out Like A Lion’ feels like squinting into the dark and tiptoeing down a staircase covered in moss. The darkness is pressing in all around you, but the insistence of the percussion and nylon-string guitar tugs you onward, mesmerised by the incantatory vocal. ‘Out Like A Lion’ is taken from the forthcoming Brother Earth album Positive Haywires, which vacillates between brooding textural pieces and exuberant rock’n’roll at the drop of a hat, chasing the ghosts of pop music past into a hall of cracked mirrors.
