Stealing Sheep - Interview

Stealing Sheep are a collection of rather lovely girls from Scouse-land (Liverpool). We fell in love with their dreamy, gentle but quirky harp-filled bliss back when they emailed us with their release ‘What if the Lights Went Out’. There’s something about their multi-layered, beautiful vocals that is impossible to ignore.

Finally, after ages of emailing back and forth and procrastination on our part, we’ve managed to gather together some stuff worth reading about them, as well as a rather inspiring video that gives an insight into their unique world.
