Naevus (Band) (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Naevus are a British group that was formed in London in 1998 by Lloyd James (vocals, acoustic guitar) and Joanne Owen (bass, accordion). Often categorised as part of the 'neo-folk' genre, their songs also have similarities with acts such as Swans and Wire, with elements of industrial music. The band released four albums between 1999 and 2004 before expanding to a four-piece with the addition of John Murphy (drums) and Greg Ferrari (electric guitar). Their first album with the expanded line-up was Silent Life, which was a critical success, and included contributions from members of Urge Within, Sieben, and Current 93.
