“How They Grow” EP

Label: Grand Independent Format: CD/Digital Download
Release Date: Out Now

A Dancing Beggar is the post rock project of 21-year-old Brighton based musician, James Simmons. Having played a mixture of drums and guitar in previous bands, a solo project seemed the next step in achieving other creative goals. Using just a laptop, a couple of guitars and a cheap microphone, everything is written, recorded, mixed and produced in his bedroom.

Influenced by seminal post-rock artists like Maps, Sigur Ros, Amusement Parks On Fire, and Eluvium, A Dancing Beggar began in summer 2007 after the purchase of some recording equipment and a number of songs were written, recorded and distributed across MySpace. It wasn’t until early 2008 that a collection of songs seemed to link together for a possible release. These were recorded and subsequently turned into the 5 tracks EP ‘How They Grow’. The editing and mixing was rushed and untidy (although The Stool Pigeon described it as a ‘post rock treat’). In late 2008 the songs were properly edited, parts were added, parts were taken away, songs were deleted and replaced with others and the entire EP was re-mixed, this time more carefully and patiently. On 23rd February 2009 Grand Independent released ‘How They Grow’, a 6 track EP on iTunes. ‘How They Grow’ takes elements of post-rock and shoegaze and has been compared to the sounds of Mogwai, Explosions in the Sky, Ulrich Schnauss and Sigur Ros.

As of March 2009, work has begun on new songs for A Dancing Beggar’s eagerly anticipated full-length album, which will be released later this year. These songs are more acoustic based, less distorted and euphoric with emphasis on a more organic sound.
