Post Description

'All The Crooked Scenes' is the debut album from Ellen And The Escapades.  A simple no frills record, the Leeds based alt folk foursome present us with a pretty mixed bag here.  There are moments of unmistakable, folk joy squeezed in with country tinged monotony. 

It's a promising first attempt from the Leeds quartet but it lacks what's needed to hold your attention from start to finish.  There are times when it all gets too samey but it's worth sticking with for the unique folk frolickings of Without You, I'll Keep You Warm and Can't Make It So.  Ellen And The Escapades are definitely on the right track, watch this space.
