CD New Model Army – Between Wine And Blood

New Model Army delivers a profound and intimate experience with Between Wine and Blood, originally released in 2014 via Ear Music. This compelling collection serves as a stripped-back companion to their acclaimed Between Dog and Wolf era, offering listeners a raw, acoustic reinterpretation of the band’s storied catalog.

Recorded with a "live-in-the-studio" aesthetic, the release prioritizes authenticity and emotional weight. By removing the dense production of their standard electrified work, the band highlights the sheer strength of their songwriting. Frontman Justin Sullivan’s impassioned vocals take center stage, supported by warm, natural arrangements that reveal the lyrical depth and melodic hooks inherent in their music.

Key Highlights & Tracks:

• "Bad Old World" & "Storms": Standout moments that gain new emotional resonance in this vulnerable format.
• "If You Want to Be Free": A showcase for the band's ability to maintain intensity through minimalist instrumentation.
• Acoustic Rock Mastery: Praised by critics for its "honest snapshot" of the band’s evolution.

Whether you are a long-time follower of New Model Army or a fan of authentic acoustic rock, this release is an essential exploration of a legendary band capturing their music in its most skeletal and powerful form.
