Arrow In The Sky hail from the heart of Ireland, bringing with them a melodious debut EP full of promise.

"Do What Thou Wilt" encompasses six finely crafted songs, laden with cascading harmonies and infused with beautifully arranged instruments. All equally understated in their own way, mandolin, piano, accordion, banjo and the rumblings of percussion, weave together to create an enchanting musical landscape. Conor McCauley's lead vocal swoops and soars; at it's most tender and captivating on the magical "Little Puritan"

The sound the men from Mullingar have conjured up is certainly their own but not without a few echoes of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young and the occasional hint towards REM's folkier moments.

Overall Arrow in the Sky have set out their stall in fine fashion. We look forward to their next collection.
