About

The Gentle Spring are a new group, formed by Michael Hiscock, Emilie Guillaumot and Jérémie Orsel.   Michael has an illustrious pop history, having been a founder member of The Field Mice, possibly the most beloved band on Sarah Records in the 1990s.  And with The Gentle Spring, it seems that history is repeating itself…
When Michael and his friend Bobby Wratten formed The Field Mice, the two of them very quickly created a set of songs whose emotional honesty, raw guitars and perfect pop melodies pierced the hearts of a generation of indiepop fans, kids who were unmoved by the posturing of mainstream indie, and who didn’t want to spend time in fields dancing at 24-hour raves.  The Field Mice were the band who defined the meaning and the spirit of Sarah Records.  Defiantly in love with pop, defiantly un-macho, defiantly… sensitive.
And now, remarkably, Michael has done it again.  With his new musical partner Emilie, The Gentle Spring have created a fresh new iteration of indiepop music.  Once again, the songs are unafraid of raw emotions, brutally honest and is still in love with big pop melodies.  They are still…. sensitive.  
But life is seen through a different lens now.  There is wisdom, there is experience, and there is the ability to look back at the world with a mixture of regret and joy.  These are very adult songs, and the arrangements reflect this.  Rich acoustic guitars and Emilie’s haunting keyboard have replaced hectic drum machines and urgent distortion.  And there is a third element to this music.  Jérémie Orsel’s sophisticated guitar adds textures and melodies that give these songs a real depth, while maintaining an enigmatic distance, never quite overwhelming the vocal line.
