He’s absolutely massive. Had never heard of him either until he started cropping up as the main headliner on a bunch of massive festivals. Very much proving that stomp, clap, hey still has a broad appeal

Managed to draw about 30k in a park in Cardiff this Summer. Haven’t heard a note of him.

2010s Christian rock was big on this. One for the C of E (possibly other denominations?) primary school teachers here
Worst music ever. It felt like everyone at uni who was into it came from Oxford and had loads of money but were stingy as fuck. All pretended to like surfing n stuff.

Think Arcade Fire are responsible for this stuff in the same way Radiohead were for Travis-core. The likes of Monsters and Men and Mumfords couldn’t actually achieve the sound AF did, but they could manage a marketable watered down twee folk version.
I guess years of Embrace and stuff doesn’t make Fake Plastic Trees bad, but it does dull the effect a bit.

A couple of friends of ours LOVE this kind of music, to this day. I call it “music for pirates” to get a rise out of them
And one of anathallo in the band

This song kind of feels like the bridge between the mid-to-late noughties sound that I think of as ‘Orange advert music’ (glockenspiel, ukelele, whistling) and the stomp clap stuff.

Nah, not a Hozier fan but I wouldn’t say he’s in this category. Maybe courting a similar fanbase though
