The Last House is the latest offering from 24 year old London based singer-songwriter Marcus Foster. Interestingly, though this is not entirely relevant, he has an MA in sculpture and I have seen his work exhibited in the Saatchi Gallery. Though, clearly his talents extend across a whole creative spectrum as illustrated by his...
Bushstock. Bushstock Bushstock Bushstock is all we’ve been hearing for the last few weeks, and the run up to last weekend was just as exciting as the day itself. Run by Communion Records (home to Ben Howard, Daughter, Michael Kiwanuka and co), it’s the first festival of it’s kind, one which delivers pure, wonderful...
So this isn’t exactly news ‘hot off the press’, but in case you hadn’t already heard, Communion records have begun what they call a “Communion Weekly”. For the last five weeks, Communion have been sending subscribers a small dose of what they’ve been up to. Every week, this includes a ‘Track of the Week’...
Treetop Flyers – It’s About Time (Communion) 2011 has been good to the Treetop Flyers to the extent that the buzz surronding them has accelerated so fast their recorded body of work can’t keep up. Winning Glastonbury’s Emerging Talent competition has propelled them to the next level but fans still have little they can...
Marcus Foster – Rushes & Reeds Marcus Foster, possibly best known for having Robert Pattinson sing one of his compositions on the Twilight soundtrack curiously reminded me of a band slightly North of his London roots; Oxford’s Charly Coombes and the New Breed. But if it’s warm 60’s soul with lashings of crunchy sex...
There was a part of us that almost wondered if this day would ever come. To say the wait for Marcus Foster’s debut EP has been long barely begins to describe it. He’s been on the circuit for years now, with an obvious talent, but no official releases to show for it. When the...
In the week that his Tumble Down EP is released, Marcus Foster has taken the time to answer our gently probing questions. For anyone who may not have heard your music before, can you describe it to us in less than 10 words? Gospel, Blues, Funk, Folk, Rock’n’Roll. I think that pretty much sums...
Communion – run by Mumford & Sons’ Ben Lovett and Cherbourg alum Kev Jones – have teamed up with the NME to promote a special folk show at London’s Dingwalls. Headliners Mumford & Sons will be joined by Anna Calvi (read our review of her brilliant album), Marcus Foster and new FFS favourite Rachel...
The record label and clubnight Communion is hosting a series of exciting (and free) gigs at the Kentish Town venue the Flowerpot this week. And as well as the evenings’ entertainments, the upstairs venue has become a temporary studio for the bands to lay down collaborations. The resulting studio sessions and live tracks will...
Communion has announced the line up for its series of Flowerpot shows, starting today featuring Mumford & Sons, Sarah Blasko and Angus & Julia Stone. The label and club night, which released a compilation album including tracks from Alessi, Johnny Flynn and Broadcast 2000 last year, will take over the North London venue for...
