James Hindle

Uk folk balladeer Adam William Hindle catches a distinctly 70s singer/songwriter sound, evoking from the fantastic Nick Drake to early Simon and Garfunkel while finding contemporaries in Elliott Smith aswell as the Essex Green and sunlight Repair (both of whom include members that play as Hindle’s backing band). Hindle’s self-titled debut, released on Badman in 2001 was a straightforward and soothing assortment of folk tracks. His 2003 sophomore result, Prospect Park, will take that workmanship and adds some Elephant 6 pop, creating a lovely and touching group of refined melodies and shifting lyricism.
