This week, The Crypt Sessions goes international with a delicious helping of Americana from Kiwi marvels, Her Make Believe Band.
Fronted by singer-songwriter Cy Winstanley, the Auklanders have been getting rave reviews for their live shows since moving to London and for very good reason. Their songs are as pretty and romantic as the Southern Cross itself. Sweetened by Cys mellifluous delivery and double bass player Vanessa McGowans gorgeous harmonies, they sound like love letters between Amy Mann and a slip-sliding Paul Simon.
Her Make Believe Bands debut album AM Radio is released on the 9th November. You can find out where to get your mitts on a copy at:

We suggest you do. As themusiccritic.co.uk put it, the album is, A truly worthwhile addition to anyones music collection (4.5 out of 5).

From 1:18 for about half a minute is one of the best pieces of music/lyrics I've heard in a long time. And I love the Harmonica solo! I can't believe I've never seen this before.
