It's no secret I've got a thing for artists that decide to do something entirely new and different, and I'm glad I found another one of those new level indie bands. Liu Bei are a quartet from London, formed by frontman Richard Walters, who said himself that the band was formed "out of a desire to move away from years of solo acoustic songwriting and embark on something entirely new." Yes, I'm so in for that.

The song I'm introducing you to today shows that doing something different was definitely the right decision. The soft sounds fit perfectly to the reserved vocals and the melody is well-shaped and memorable. Once you hear the haunting fragility of this band's lyrics there's no turning back.

Make sure to check the song out below:
