Nick Mulvey has already picked up international acclaim as part of the Mercury Prize-nominated Portico Quartet, but it’s his dense, intricate and elegant work as a solo artist that tastemaker Gilles Peterson thinks should be getting everyone’s attention.
Check out Mulvey's appearance on the Brownswood Basement Sessions below, Brownswood Recordings being an independent label belonging to the DJ and broadcaster Gilles Peterson. Founded in 2006 the aim of the label was to provide a platform for the many unsigned artists and new artists.
Nick Mulvey will support Laura Marling at her intimate fully seated Olympia Theatre show on September 29th.
So whether music or madness
We live by one of the two
By one of the two
So go on, fill your heart up with gladness
Not a moment too soon
Not a moment too soon
Should we ration the reasons
To the child to ignore
Of this I've never been sure
So I will follow the feeling
And sing fever to the form
Oh my fever to the form
Fever to the form
Fever to the form
Cause the very thing you're afraid, afraid of
It keeps you clean but unclear
Clean but unclear
Is the dirt that you're made, you're made of
And that's nothing to fear
No, it's nothing my dear
But how do I know what you're thinking
Maybe I thought it before
Maybe that's why I'm at your window
Hear me at your door
Singing give me some more
Oh fever to the form
Won't you hear me at your door
Singing give me some more
Cause you were never empty
And we've been here before
Yes, we've been here before
But now there's always plenty
Yet still we ask for more
Singing fever to the form
