Skinny Lister
The Devil, The Heart and The Fight
If their folk debut celebrated the sticks and their punkier second blinked in the bright lights of London, their rocked-up third, The Devil, The Heart & The Fight, sees them go global. From the fiery Elvis-gone- folk roar of opener Wanted – Dan saluting London, New York and Cairo in a song "about looking for life in the cities we'd visit" - The Devil, The Heart & The Fight comes out fists first. A mature, vibrant and varied record, it mingles classic Skinny folk romances with epic rock takes on rafter-rattling shanties and hearty Dexys-style tributes to the fans they meet on the road plus a hitherto unseen darker side.The Devil, The Heart & The Fight is like Skinny's previous albums gone backpacking; expanding its horizons, full of adventure, discovering itself and doing things it regrets in the morning. Have heart, ye devils, join the fight.
