Northumbrian guitarist and singer Steve Malley would doubtless be extremely embarrassed to read that anyone had called him a 'genius'. That says a lot. It's also one of the reasons why he might well be one. Steve played guitar in Crane in the early 90s, whose post-Husker Du take on The Byrds-meets-DC hardcore earned them a deserving reputation as one of the UK's finest live bands. He would go on to play in Kodiak, Four Frame and then most notably The Unit Ama. The Unit Ama's deconstructed take on rock music was extremely impassioned and almost spiritual at times in direct contrast to the more cold and calculated approach of peers indebted to the USA bands of the time. The Horse Loom sees Steve take this free and beautiful approach and apply to it to his love of British folk music to create wonderful acoustic songs that interweave his surprisingly tender vocals with his truly incredible guitar style that recalls Davy Graham or Bert Jansch at their finest. He's someone who has never stopped amazing us with his output and we think he'll amaze you too.
