Beaumont - No Time Like the Past

British pop group born from the ashes of celebrated Sarah records combo Blueboy and Siesta's axis-combo Arabesque. This record is highly recommended for improving your life, your day and more importantly your record collection. Beaumont has achieved cult-status in the pop spheres and recognition thanks to loyal fans. They were even invited to write music for the reputed New York based women's designer accessory company Kate Spade. Beaumont make competent and pleasant indie-folk with hints of emotional country / pastoral counter-points for fans of Beth Orton, Yann Tiersen, Trash Can Sinatra's, Mojave 3, Fantastic Something, Innocence Mission, Swan Dive, Nico, Birdie, Gentle Waves, Magnet, Grant Lee Buffalo, Lilac Time, Sleepy Jackson, Hidden Cameras or, Nick Drake. In this record there are lullabies, pop hymns and ballads with discrete guitars, sensitive arrangements and occasional synths that confer on the songs a mysterious gravity. Siesta. 2006.
