Brillig's latest album showcases their inimitable style. With plaintive & alluring vocals and the full cast of brooding instruments (banjo, viola, guitar, autoharp, accordion, ukulele, harmonica, bass), it also marks the debut of drummer Ben Macklin (ex - bit by bats). Brillig's strongest songwriting to date, "The Red Coats" CD offers 12 compelling tales of tragedy, intrigue and sorrow (plus an instrumental "intermission"), which move effortlessly from lush to sparse arrangements. Enchantingly melancholic, beautifully tragic, strangely uplifting. Brillig presents a record to become absorbed in - lost in the rhythm and clear space - but centred on the stories within.
