At Bay

Debut from the London based three piece. The Wharves combine gracefully minimal Psyche-Rock with fuzzed out Folk. Their songwriting remains consistently rich throughout 'At Bay' largely due to the startling harmonies of Gemma Fleet (bass) and Dearhla Minogue (guitar) bonding each of the albums 13 tracks. The glorious production courtesy of Rory Attwell (The Vaccines Veronica Falls) makes for a unique debut. They invoke the spook of 60s girl groups, the mid fi guitar crunch of the Amps, the vocal flavors of the Roches and the narrative of 70s progressive folk. Marion Andraus thunderous drumming drives through these compositions ensuring the wealth of disparate influences remain focused and celebratory.
