Oddfellow’s Casino have been quietly releasing albums over the past 20 years, to critical acclaim. They hail from the mountains of Sussex and are an ensemble whose music and live performances often centre around psychogeography, hauntings and the British landscape. Their music has been widely featured on BBC Radio 3 and 4 and championed by Gideon Coe, Cerys Mathews and Lauren Laverne on BBC6 Music.
At the centre of the group is singer-songwriter, author and radio broadcaster David Bramwell who has collaborated with the likes of Grasscut, Sarah Angliss, Kramer, Steve Lewis (Fujiya&Miyagi) and Stereolab’s Simon Johns.

Early album releases, Yellow-Bellied Wonderland and Winter Creatures, draw comparisons with Kevin Ayres, Robert Wyatt and late-period Talk Talk. By 2012’s The Raven’s Empire, Bramwell had teamed up with producer Andrew Philipps to create a darker orchestrated record that was ‘haunting, melodically beautiful, mesmerising’ (Sunday Times).
In 2014 the band released their 4th studio album, The Water Between Us, followed by a collection of unreleased material, Dust.
Their 6th album, Oh, Sealand (A wonderist’s intervention,’ The Quietus) was a disquieting album full of love and frustration for England, peppered with literary references, old roads, strange films, fishermen, drowned villages and forgotten corners. Tracks feature the voice of comic book writer Alan Moore, a sea shanty choir and one, Sealand, was written as an unofficial anthem for the independent principality of Sealand.

In 2020, to mark their 20th anniverary, the band are due to release three new albums: Burning! Burning!, The Cult of Water and Oddfellow’s Revisited, as well as a booklet of words and illustrations by Pete Fowler, through Rough Trade Publications.
