Bleeding Heart Narrative is from the UK and consists of (recording wise) Oliver Barrett - who also does the illustrations for the releases. The music is epic and ephemeral, a kind of journey in sound played on many different instruments including cello, piano and vocals. His recordings include the idiosyncratic mistakes made during recording which gives the music a very tactile and honest sound. Other musicians join Oliver Barrett on stage for live performances.
