Uniform Motion - One Frame Per Second


Uniform Motion were one of my favourite bands (and still are, but they "broke up"), so choosing which of their five albums to post is difficult, but I've settled on this, their third album from 2011.

It's a magical record; the tale of Little Knight, his adventures, and his past. Some may turn their nose up at themed albums, but when each song holds up on its own then it really isn't an issue, plus it leads to the delightful album artwork by Renaud Forestiรฉ, who used to illustrate live on stage as part of the band (I wish I could have seen em live, although I did ask them to put out a live album and to my total surprise they actually did so, guess you can't say fairer that that)

As to the music, the band classified themselves as "illustrated folk". A more hum-drum description would be indie, with singer  Andy's falsetto (or there or thereabouts, what do I know?) crooning over some captivating arrangements.

If you like what you hear, there are 4 other albums to explore, and singer Andy Richards is recording under the name Richard Andrews (or is it the other way around? And he accused me of being a spy...)

Finally, if you're enjoying this album but find it a bit on the short-side, you can add the tracks "A Road" and "Without You" to your playlist as tracks 9 and 11 respectively - this is the album I listen to.
