About

‘Scruffy, sinister folk rock. Something like Anthony and the Johnsons singing the scariest words of Aleister Crowley. In hell’. - NME After touring with the Mystery Jets, King Creosote and Jamie T in 2007, SixToes retreated to the deepest darkest fenland backwater town of Ely (Cambridgeshire, England), to build a little home studio sandwiched between the asylum and historic cathedral. As the cold closed in they hightailed it back to their squat in London where they put together the finishing touches to their album, ‘Trick Of The Night’ which was released in December last year. The band consists two vocalists, who trade in wide, off kilter harmonies, cello, violin, double bass and percussion. In the last few months the band have supported artists such as Fryars, Polly Scattergood, Laura Marling and Sons Of Noel and Adrian. Their remix of Depeche Mode’s ‘Jezebel’ has just been released on the new Depeche Mode album, ‘Sounds Of The Universe’.
