A few days ago a new album was announced called Skeletal Blues by LOCKS, a band a never heard before. My first thought lead me to Nick Cave and his beautiful dark murder ballads. And I wasn't far away of it. LOCKS are a London based trio playing a superb dark folk. I couldn't imagine that the sound played with a double bass, fiddle and guitars will work - but it does. It is a bit like Nick Cave and Tom Waits deciding to follow the folk road. Music to walk over the graveyard at midnight.
