"Seamless vocal harmonies...stories of sea voyages, betrayal and desolation... a more coherent concept album you’ll be pushed to find" - The Observer
Whilst crossing the Atlantic on a raft of their own making, the Sons of Town Hall (American songwriter/author David Berkeley and British songwriter/producer Ben Parker) craft songs of wonder and woe, heartbreak, and hope. Their harmonies are sublime. Their stories are hilarious. Dressed in threadbare Victorian outfits and armed with old, weather-beaten Gibson guitars, their show is part concert, part performance art, and unlike anything you have ever seen.
Their forthcoming album, Of Ghosts and Gods, will be unveiled one song at a time in each episode of their new comedy-fiction podcast, Madmen Cross the Water . The podcast features witty writing, cinematic production, and a beautiful original score. Hosted by a modern-day superfan and performed by the duo, the series unfolds as a music history deep dive charting the pair’s misadventures as they travel the world armed with relentless optimism, mesmerizing harmonies. It is a must-listen for fans of indie folk music and off-kilter storytelling, a bit like if Dolly Parton's America shared a tour bus with Welcome to Nightvale, Iron and Wine, and some bizarre troupe reenacting Don Quixote.
“Nothing short of stunning”

“Sensational!”
