Invocal
“ This Northampton quartet boast tight, original and highly accomplished musicianship - even when they sing angsty love songs they're lucid and quirky. Some songs are laugh-out-loud funny, like in the acerbic politesse of DEAR FRIEND…” Diva Magazine
“The band have a fierce reputation as a live act and it's understandable given the theatrical nature of their songs. Sometimes the humour takes over and sometimes the songs are moving and thoughtful - the music features themes from modern life … What makes Uneven Keel so strong is its female view of the world.”
The Rainbow Network
“Uneven Keel is an eclectic, eccentric masterpiece – 5 stars”
Out Northwest magazine
Invocal are a four piece female acoustic band that perform with cello, guitar, clarinet and four harmonious voices - described as having dark gypsy folk tugging from one side and an all out west end musical tugging from the other. Their songs tell tales of modern life - with caustic and bawdy humour, powerful and moving lyrics and (most days) expert musical prowess.
The band have performed together for the past 3 years, and have recently completed their first major UK tour. Their latest album, Uneven Keel, has received excellent reviews in the gay press and on the UK folk and acoustic scene, critics favouring their restless musical arrangements, wicked wit and genuine originality.
It is Invocal’s combination of dark comedy, eccentric melancholy and musical theatrics that make them an unforgettable live act.
