Harronell is an amazing debut from one of our Unusual Suspects comprising 15 emotional tracks. It's hard to categorise with it's unique sound but think Blue Nile meets Album Leaf or something, layering piano and guitar with soulful vocals. The songs are birthed in Sheffield where Laurence Keith is part of a community in Park that has helped provide the creative spark to bring these songs to life.
All songs written recorded and arranged by Laurence Keith 2004-2008. Except tracks 1 & 9 written and sung by Beth Keith, performed and arranged by Laurence and Beth Keith. Track 5, written by Beth Keith, sung by Kate Cooper, performed and arranged by Laurence and Beth Keith.

Thanks: "Thank you to my parents for raising us on decent music, and for suffering in silence as we returned the favour and played music LOUD. Thanks to my brother for letting me steal his music till I found my own. Thanks to Nelly Wilson & Matt Godfrey for the glorious rock experience that was Arcane. Thanks to God for stepping in about now… Thanks to dwh for taking me out of rock, showing me that a guitar can be a secondary instrument. Thanks to Beth for singing so beautifully and winning me forever. Thanks to the guys in Evesher; it was weird & painful, but I wouldn't trade that time for anything! Thanks to James Cornell for being the coolest drummer ever and for inspiration when I'm stuck with rhythms (What Would James Do?). Thanks to Stoney Lacuna for a serious bite of the apple. Thanks to Antonia Rolls, for the last 10%. Thanks to Jonny & Jon, for a critical ear, believing in this music and giving it an airing.
I was 16, the night before my last GSCE (economics). I sat down with a guitar and a chord book and said "come on then God, lets do it." The sound has changed, but the reason hasn't."
