"Shura's from London and I first heard her when I came across the Fortunes Fool EP she did with Hiatus. This is NGHT FLK (Night Folk), 4 beautiful tracks compiled of nothing but a breathtaking voice and mesmerising guitar. This isn't staying on Soundcloud for long, so enjoy whilst you can!"

WORRY DOLLS - https://www.facebook.com/worrydollsmusic

London-based duo Worry Dolls are at war, not that you'd ever know. Think of the Worry Dolls as Tom And Jerry, but in one of those episodes where the titular two-some are forced to team up against a great evil. In this case, the evil is meaningless music filled with tired clichés. Two solo singers by nature, Rosie and Zoe first teamed up while studying together at Paul McCartney's old school in L...iverpool. They bonded over being the only two redheads in their class...

Worry Dolls won't sing about love. Not directly, at least. In all of their songs the 'l' word is mentioned only once, and hardly in a positive context. It's their small statement against a worn down lyrical standard that is too often relied on when a writer has nothing new to say. It doesn't need to be groundbreaking, and it doesn't need to be important (on 'Oliver' Rosie and Zoe sing about an infatuation with a West End drag queen), but it needs to be original, and it needs to have meaning. At least, that's how the Worry Dolls both see it. And if they agree on that, it must be true.
