Hotly tipped psych-folk darlings from Liverpool, Stealing Sheep are Becky Hawley, Emily Lansley and Lucy Mercer. Within days of forming, they had posted a handful of songs online and booked themselves on a UK tour. With each member contributing separate songs to the group, they released their debut single in early 2011 and attracted plaudits from the likes of Lauren Laverne, Gilles Peterson and Rob da Bank. Their debut album ‘Into The Diamond Sun’ followed last summer, proving they are one of Britain’s most beguiling new bands. You’ll be charmed by their hazy psychedelic folkatronica and mystical harmonies.
Nick was charmed too when he met up with them despite not having much time to do the interview – something to do with Nick needing to be punted across the lake in a boat to get to their dressing room! You can hear the interview again below.
