Like many other things, we missed this particular release back in the summer.God Rest Your Weary Soul Amanda Richardson is an album by the marvellously named Pearl & The Beard. It was released in July, and is a collection of superb folk/Americana tunes. They carry an undercurrent of gothic foreboding and not a little menace, bubbling under some gorgeously sunny melodies and campfire harmonies.

Pearl and the Beard are currently on [...]
