Renowned for stadium-sized epics played in intimate rooms, this 'utterly life-affirming' (Bristol 24/7) alt.folk/post-rock/electronica band is restless and shape-shifting. Delicate vocals float above either giant choruses and squelchy/sleazy beats or atmospheric, eerie soundscapes. Beguiling lyrics chart our deepest experiences and matters of the heart; mesmeric music elevates and unites us.

'A stunning interpretation of contemporary chaos... a gorgeous whiplash of delirium and hazy reveries. If Nick Cave were a small man from Yorkshire and sang his anxiety dreams in a falsetto, it would sound something like this.'
The Line Of Best Fit
The Little Unsaid is the ever-mutating songwriting project of Yorkshire-born and South London-based musician/producer John Elliott, with an incredible mélange of piano, synth, strings and drums provided by Mariya Brachkova, Alison D'Souza and Tim Heymerdinger. They could as easily trade under the 'art-rock' banner as that of folk, coming under the F-word in the same way as Joni Mitchell and Roy Harper. Like them, they stretch musical boundaries.
Having spent a year and a half away from recording/touring so as to reinvent and reinvigorate their process, this London/Aarhus-based four-piece now tour their most expansive yet deeply personal record to date ('Fable', 2022); music fueled by the simmering collective anxiety of an ephemeral and chaotic world, but held together by a palpable sense of gratitude and joy. The essence of their songcraft is that good things (strange and remarkable things, too) can come out of bad times or uncomfortable situations.
'Bold and different.'
The Guardian
'Hypnotically attractive...
edges on the experimental... fascinating music.'
At The Barrier
'Unique and varied... original and uncompromising.
Elliott is like a downbeat Paul McCartney or Nick Cave
with a penchant for synth-folk.'
