LEFT WITH PICTURES

Left With Pictures started with three hard-up, classically trained musicians – Stuart Barter, Rob Wicks and Toby Knowles – who forsook the orchestra pit for the sanctuary of Toby’s parents’ loft. Armed with melodicas, guitars, violins, kazoos, ‘found sounds’ and a shoestring budget, they began with two self released EPs and have since gone on to release two acclaimed albums on Organ Grinder Records.

The band are currently in the studio with esteemed producer Richard Formby (Wild Beasts, Ghostpoet, Darkstar) working on their third album.

“Absolutely beautiful.” – Lauren Laverne

“Beyond brilliant.“ – Drowned in Sound
