Lionshare are a band that rely upon atmosphere and mood as much as the songs themselves. Based around a primary singer/songwriter this band features more soundscapes and atmospherics than the conventional three piece. The sound could be placed within the modern US Folk/Americana movement, but has aspects of post-rock creating a unique sound, which is both beautiful and haunting. Lionshare have been described as :-

"minimal desolate soundscapes. slowly unfolding. gothic americana. godspeed you! black emporer covering joy division at their most funereal"
