The Son(s) are something of a mystery. Beyond the music they release via Olive Grove Records, very little is known about the band. Are they one (possibly) or more musicians (maybe) and where do they hail from? (Somewhere). I’m sure we’ll find out one day and have a good old laugh together when the facts [...]

This review has been months in the writing. It is incredibly difficult to put music into words sometimes, especially if it becomes almost too overwhelming that every literary outlet freezes.
