BISHOPSKIN
Conceived as a lockdown project by vocalist Tiger Nicholson and guitarist James Donovan (formerly of HMLTD), expansive nine-piece Bishopskin have gained notoriety for their eccentric and dynamic live performances. On their recent debut album ‘Babble,’ the group sings their ‘prayers to the wind,’ recounts tales of ‘old man England on the moor,’ and reworks 14th Century Latin hymns, blending folk, blues and punk to craft a distinctive sound. Their very existence is a rebellion against modernity, an escapist journey into fantasies of a mythologized, William Blake-esque England through folk revivalism and the avant-garde. Backed by BBC Music Introducing, So Young Magazine and Rough Trade, Bishopskin have quickly amassed plaudits and even collaborated with members of Fat White Family and Black Midi. Live, they recently sold out The Lexington, supported Opus Kink at Village Underground and have previously shared the stage with bands like The Last Dinner Party and WOOZE.
