Any regularer listeners to 6 Music are likely to be well aware of Tom Williams & The Boat, but for those that don't here's a description courtesy of God Is In The TV...

"Tunbridge Wells six piece Tom Williams & The Boat recently released their new album Too Slow recently. An album that sets out their master plan in glorious Technicolor, years spent on the road, playing festivals like Glastonbury (five times no less) have hardened this still fledgling acts sound, sometimes muscular rollicking rock hoedowns that tinged with elements on folk and country classicism, shifting down to intimate guitar lines and gentle intimacy. Then toward brass dappled Springsteen-esque wide screen epics, each one laced with Tom Williams vividly and intimately drawn character studies. And its Toms lyrics and vocals that really set this act above from their contemporaries, words tumbling from southerner Toms mouth like mini narratives falling from the page hinting at the voices of Johnny Flynn, Bob Dylan and Mike Skinner but not really sounding like any of them, intelligent, literate, emotional yet laced with startling imagery of the modern day."
