Description
They're back, and back to their best - the long-awaited new album from Coope, Boyes & Simpson, 'As If.
.
.' demonstrates the trio's unique grasp of the power of the voice.
Magnificently-sung, the stunning acapella vocal arrangements on both self-penned songs and carefully-chosen covers range from the joyously uplifting to the heartbreakingly poignant.
The three - Barry Coope, Jim Boyes and Lester Simpson - have been in and out of action for several years, guesting with other performers, hosting radio shows and working with other members of the No Masters Cooperative (which the trio helped found twenty years ago).
So it's with some delight that 'As If?' is a back-to-what-we're-best-at triumph of resonating voices; the most accomplished and renowned acapella harmony group of their time.
