On the Arvos with Andy we have alt-county/folk /songwriter Alice Cotton. Alice is about to go on tour to southeastern WA tour with the Sandhills Band. The Sandhills have just launched Fire on the Mountain on September 28. The performances at the inaugural New Farm New Country cosmic country festival, as well as Margaret River and Denmark WA. A folky love song layered with picked guitars and a tremolo ukulele, sounding a little bit like The Shins, Fire on the Mountain celebrates those moments after a lovers' quarrel, as anger fades and love brings reconciliation. It's about that sheepish look on your face, right before you apologise. Recorded and produced by Chris Hann, the single confirms the acoustic, folky direction of The Sandhills' last EP, Prairies, and is paired with hand-made merch available for purchase on Bandcamp.
