The album was preceded by the single ‘In The Arms of Lewes’ and is available on all digital platforms NOW
Strange Is The Coastline is a collection of original folk-rock songs written by current core members David Colohan (co-founder of UBS) and Alison O’Donnell (Mellow Candle / Flibbertigibbet) in the company of multi-instrumentalist Steven Collins (The Owl Service). Melding and meshing classic folk, contemporary pop and passionate tune-smithery in an inspiringly complementary way disparate, yet delightfully cohesive, themes glide from Albion myth and legend to Victorian-era murder ballad via chilling contemporary stalker tales and climate chaos. Artwork is penned by occasional collective contributor Dom Cooper.
United Bible Studies was formed in 2001 and over the last couple of decades has been home to a head-spinning array of performers in an ever-evolving merry-go-round of studio and live personnel. Drawing on the broadest community of musicians, the band have created an impressive catalogue of 28 albums of studio and live recordings.
