Laetoli Steps's debut album is an indie-folk project led by Rich Cramp, (previously of John Peel favourites Garlic). These 12 songs feature Nick Johnson of Thunderclap Newman on guitar, Nick Simms of Cornershop on drums, Mia Pixley of The Debutante Hour on cello/vocs, Dr. Cyriel Diels on bass and occasional keyboards from Erika Cramp (previously of Jesse Quin and The Mets). The music is a fusion of Americana, Indie Rock and Alt Country styles but with a twist: they use cello and double bass to give the sound a chamber-pop quality. Laetoli Steps were born in London in 2008 and after extensive gigging and touring the country, they have honed their own sound and now have a debut album to prove it. Rich is currently working on his second album with his wife.
