Gibson Bull

about

Gibson Bull is a London based singer-songwriter who fuses indie folk with trip hop to create meaningful and atmospheric songs. His debut EP Skin and Bones unveils Gibson's ethereal and emotive studio sound-world. The recordings have been put together at The Workshop in Notting Hill with producer Adam Morley using chopped up samples from scratchy old classical and jazz vinyl, mostly from the 50p box of a local charity shop. The resulting indie-folk/trip-hop is absorbing to listen to with insightful lyrics, confident arrangements and effortless grooves, while still remaining true to the song. Gibson has spent a couple of years playing in folk clubs and local festivals around the UK absorbing the reactions to his music and developing a sincere connection with his audience. In 2012, he gained the interest of several indie-folk blogs when he uploaded some cover versions to YouTube and SoundCloud. Blogs such as OurVinyl, Timber and Steel, Music Under Fire, Ladwood, Large Hearted Boy, Cover Lay Down, Your Music Radar, For Folk's Sake and Thank Folk For That have all posted Gibson's Songs. In December 2012 he was asked to contribute to a Christmas album for the popular UK blog For Folk's Sake. His version of “The Holly and the Ivy” received airplay on BBC London and the video got over 10,000 views over Christmas. In June 2013 “Skin and Bones” was the most voted track on the Fresh On The Net listening post run by BBC6 Music DJ Tom Robinson. In July 2013 “Skin and Bones” was pl
