LP – Limited Standard Edition Black Vinyl with Lyric Booklet. Only 300 in this pressing.

‘Strange Is The Coastline‘ is a collection of original folk-rock songs written by current core members David Colohan (co-founder of UBS) and Alison ODonnell (Mellow Candle) in the company of multi-instrumentalist Steven Collins (The Owl Service). Melding and meshing classic folk, contemporary pop, and passionate tune-smithery in an inspiringly complementary way; disparate, yet delightfully cohesive, with themes of Albion myth and legend to Victorian-era murder ballads via tales of chilling contemporary stalkers, and climate chaos.

United Bible Studies was formed in 2001 and over the last couple of decades has been home to a head-spinning array of performers in an ever-evolving merry-go-round of studio and live personnel. Drawing on the broadest community of musicians, the band have created an impressive catalogue of 28 albums of studio and live recordings.

…teems with bushy-tailed folk-rock about Albion and Ireland, as well as brutal, bracing songs about singer Alison ODonnells experiences with a former stalker, such as the startling You Often Hid. (THE GUARDIAN)
