Reviews and Comments

Meadow Meadow, the project of ex Spring King members Peter Darlington and James Green, have shared their beautiful new track ‘Rain’, released via Practise Music.

Distilled and matured from the music of their previous outfit, ‘Rain’ by Meadow Meadow follows on from their two acclaimed EPs - 2020s self titled Meadow Meadow and 2021s Silhouettes. Sonically rich and layered with earthy guitars, pianos, brass and strings, ‘Rain’ is a masterclass in classic songwriting. Effortlessly gliding between tension and release, swelling sections to hushed vocal verses, the track’s hooky chorus is certain to make even the most rigid of heads nod along.

Speaking on the track, Peter from the band offers: “I was walking along the side of the Thames and could see that it was raining on one side of the river, but not on the side where I was standing. This idea of the city being cut in two halves really struck me and that's when the lyrics began to arrive. I thought about a relationship that was ending and how the city suddenly felt unknown to me.”

Peter and James spent the last half-decade or so touring extensively together in Spring King, where a unique friendship was born. They went from “barely knowing each other, to living in each other's pockets for six years”, connecting deeply over the shared experience of growing up in towns surrounded by forests, lakes, reservoirs and canals.

After signing to Island Records, 10M+ streams, international touring and being the first band ever played on Apple Music, Spring King eventually broke down. Peter and James’ writing together became a meditative, healing process. Sharing demos between Manchester, London and later Bristol, the pair developed a distinct musical palette, using creativity as a constant source of peace and catharsis.

With a sound that’s as timeless as it is modern, ‘Rain’ is the first glimpse of Meadow Meadow’s debut album, more details of which will be announced in due time.
