Kris Drever – If Wishes Were Horses (Reveal Records, 2016)
Guitarist and vocalist Kris Drever departs from music rooted in British Isles tradition on If Wishes Were Horses. The album is a singer-songwriter effort with Drever focusing on lyrics. The acoustic folk arrangements are much more basic than what you would find in his regular band, Lau.
Guests include Ian Carr on guitars, trumpet and vocals; Euan Burton on bass, vocals and keyboards; Louis Abbott on drums and vocals; and Yolanda Quartey on vocals.
