Биография

Bleeding Heart Narrative began as a solo project for Oliver Barrett (Petrels) in 2005. Debut album ‘All That Was Missing We Never Had In The World’ quickly sold out its initial run on Tartaruga Records in 2008 before a re-issue on cult label Cold Spring. The follow-up, ‘Tongue Tangled Hair’ garnered equally rave reviews upon its release in 2009. Expanding up to a 6 piece for live performances, BHN shared a stage with acts as diverse as Thee Silver Mount Zion, Damo Suzuki, Django Django, Eric Chenaux, David Thomas Broughton, When Saints Go Machine, and The Drift as well as sets at Green Man, The Great Escape, Big Chill, Latitude and Truck amongst others. As a six-piece, BHN released a single, an EP – ‘Bison’ – which received rave reviews and airplay across Radio 1, 6Music and XFM, before a final album – ‘Caveats’ – when the band came to an end in 2012. “Incredibly emotive and one one of the most interesting records we’ve heard here in a long long time…This is seriously good.” – Norman Records (album of the week for ATWMWNHITW) “Vintage tones and instrumentation – a truly enticing sound.” – Clash “Musically sumptuous and highly arresting… pulled off with an enviable sense of beauty and inspired musicality” – The Quietus
