A harmless fowl. Having impressed Devendra Banhart’s psych folk scene with his debut album, Duncan Sumpner’s imagination has now left his native Peak District behind. Gylling Street is, instead, a nostalgia piece for the shoegazing era (is he getting the same tap water as Maps and Deerhunter?). Aficionados will hear echoes of erstwhile scenesters like Flying Saucer Attack and Slowdive, but for others he’ll evoke a hippier, dippier Coldplay. These gauzy soundscapes are beguiling enough when played in the background, but faced head on they disintegrate between the fingers. Songs Of Green Pheasant – Gylling Street, out now on FatCat.
