ABOUT SION
"Sion Whiley’s first album carries with it a degree of real promise..........The more stripped -down songs find Whiley sounding like Bobby Gillespie..........If Micheal Stipe went solo one day he may end up sounding like this...."
(ROCKSOUND MAGAZINE)

"Welsh-born, Berkshire-raised, inspired in Kuala Lumpur and honed at Paul McCartney's LIPA, Sion Whiley’s story is interesting in itself; not half as interesting as the music he makes though. Ostensibly a compatriot of the bruised singer/songwriter school founded by Michael Stipe (other inductees Elliott Smith and James Walsh), any comparisons you see with any of the above begin and end in the way he writes. The real joy is in the way he pulls his passion off the page and forces it into your breast, had Kurt Cobain followed his heart it is entirely possible that he would have beaten Sion Whiley to this particular emotional battlefield, but he didn’t, and Whiley always knows when to reign it in. It looks like this fella is going to be with us for a long time, so get in early, log onto his website and download ‘Vulturalism’ for free; you’ll never look back. *****"

Vulturalism is a dark, atmospheric combination of soft guitar picking and stabbing chords. Whileys vocals sweep from delicate murmering to full-on, growl....as beefy as if they'd wired his guitar up to Sellafield, and it is this combination of subtlety and balls-out rock that makes Whiley a genuinely intriguing prospect."
