BILTONE

'Biltone write and perform haunting minimal melodies, bent lullabies and catastrophic love songs.
Evoking the unforgettable theatrics of voices like Scott Walker and Antony Heggarty, infused with the ingenious playfulness of a Van Dyke Parks production. From the lost-at-sea expanse of "Humming Bird", through the intimacy of "Waiting for Romeo", to the pastoral pop of "The Pyramids of Llangollen" Biltone's songs are as memorable as they are understated; awash with languidity, punctuated by landmarks of timeless melody, dressed in tapestries of strings, glinting with piano and guitar.' Jonathan Shedletzky
