Aspen Sails are a British folk duo who have just brought out their first EP titled ‘Maud’. The release shows its credentials by skilfully interweaving crystalline melodies and great vocal harmonies without ever overstepping its boundaries.
The promising tracks are reminiscent of the folksy ways reintroduced on the American west coast by the likes of Fleet Foxes, although Aspen Sails may still be searching for their killer single. Still, the band is in its infancy so there will be plenty of time for that.
As a collection of songs, this release is perfect for warm hearts in the cold winter.
