Ariels

Bent
Universal Records

Give this album a spin and you’ll discover that Nottingham has more to offer than the evil sheriff of Robin Hood fame. The dreamy, emotional sound of Ariels comes from the musically imaginative minds of Simon Mills and Nails Tolliday, who both hail from Nottingham. Although less quirky and more accessible than Bent’s previous efforts, Ariels still delivers breathtaking song-driven electronic/acoustic pop. Play this during an evening drive along the Tagaytay ridge with your windows rolled down to get the maximum feel. Make sure you listen to Sunday 29th and The Waters Deep.
