Pagan hymns 'about trading modern life for a wilder, feral existence'

Tackling the big issues of the day but doing so with his feet firmly on the ground, he’s become a people’s champ of the modern folk scene and amassed a huge back catalogue of songs in the process.

Beans will be returning to the region brandishing his brand new album Wild Goose Chasers which was released on Sunday December 1.

While its idiosyncratic title may be typical of the wry turn-of-phrase we have come to expect from the Essex songwriter, listeners should expect a very different animal for his latest release.

A collection of newfangled pagan hymns to coincide with the end of truth, these sparsely-arranged, supernaturally-shaded songs promise to be unlike anything the artist has conjured previously.
