The Prophet Hens are the Dunedin 4 piece band through Fish Rider Records who
are back
with their 2nd album ‘The Wonderful Shape of Back Door Keys.’
‘The Wonderful Shape of Back Door Keys’ is full of melodic jangling
guitars, swirling Casio
keyboards & the voices of Penelope Esplin and Karl Bray singing upliftingly
melancholic
songs about hope & despair, joy & regret, ambition & reality, coming
together & drifting
apart.
Their 1st album ‘Popular People Do Popular People’ made its mark around
the world being
praised as “psychédélisme plaintif” by French music weekly Les
Inrockuptible.
They were also given 10/10 in reviews by UK mailorder specialists Norman
Records’ staff
and customers, and also featured on BBC 6 Music shows by Marc Riley and
Gideon Coe.
