Electronic and Rock
A.k.a. Matthew James Bower The Hidden (8) The Revenant Sea

“Settling somewhere in the cracks between post-rock, noise and dark ambient, Wizards Tell Lies’ music takes its influence from the occult, uneasy, unnatural and unknowable.” Steve Dewhurst, Jehu& Chinaman Records/ Decoder Magazine “… the secret / alternative world at play as witnessed by Wizards Tells Lies, a twilight world where only the select few behold, many long to see yet most are happily ignorant, blindly comatose gorging on the trappings of commercialised baubles and trinkets, for while you sleep and while you work an unseen secret world is at play between realities where what you thought was the stuff of dreams, nightmares, folklore and mythology exists goblins, imps, fairies, UFO’s and beasts of legend.” Mark Barton Wizards Tell Lies is: Fox: guitars, percussion, bass, keyboards, field recordings, vocals. Owl: ‘The Orchestra of Lost Things’, drums, percussion. Hart: acoustic guitars, bass, synths, sampler, vocals. Incorporating elements of rock, folk, Radiophonics, electronica, psychedelia and vintage sci-fi soundtracks Wizards Tell Lies creates an uncanny and disquieting soundscape, often familiar but frequently foreboding.
