This song “Freebirds”, in particular, transports you to a dream world gently guided by the captivating vocal of Eleanor Bodenham. With a team of music masterminds behind it, including Martin Craft (M. Craft) and production from Nick Littlemore (Empire of the Sun, Pnau, Cirque Du Soleil) Lover Lover are hotly tipped as the next Mumford and Sons, but in my opinion better!

“Freebirds” is their debut single and was released May 2 on Cross Keys Records, a homespun label founded by a cohort of vinyl addicts. The song was offered as a limited 7″ vinyl and as download fromiTunes. (or you can order it from Rough Trade)

Check out the video below and the band’s website here.
