The multinational
Guillemots, comprised of English singer and classically trained pianist
Fyfe Dangerfield, Brazilian guitarist
MC Lord Magrao, Scottish percussionist
Greig Stewart (aka
Rican Caol), and Canadian double bassist
Aristazabal Hawkes, use their eclectic influences and personal styles to create a catchy pop sound and an energetic live show that have won them many fans in their British home base. In 2005, they opened for
Rufus Wainwright during his U.K. tour and released the EP I Saw Such Things in My Sleep. The "mini-album"
From the Cliffs (a collection of their early singles, including all four songs from the EP) came out in March 2006. The full-length,
Through the Windowpane followed later that year, and the very poppy
Red was issued in the spring of 2008. ~ Marisa Brown, All Music Guide
