Ocean Colour Scene‘s Simon Fowler has given a folk twist to the Stone Roses classic ‘I Am The Resurrection‘ with his new band Merrymouth, which also consists of Dan Sealey and keyboard player Adam Barry – have a listen below.

“It was really interesting to strip this tune down to a piano, strings and three part harmony,” the band reflect. “We have always felt that although Ian Brown is never associated with folk, there is an influence in his vocal and melodies. Since songs are kept alive by different singers interpreting them, we wanted to add our own touches to this tune.”

The track forms a part of the new album ‘Wenlock Hill‘, which is due for release on May 5th via Navigator Records. They have tour dates booked for that month, the details of which are as follows:

MAY
The Lemon Tree, Aberdeen (8)
Rothes Hall, Glenrothes (9)
