'This is a phenomenally classy album. Beautifully sung, superb tunes, lovely harmonies and a welcome slightly edgy feel.. It’s not often one is instantly enraptured by a set of songs, but this is what happens here' ~ 8/10 Americana UK
'There’s a lot to recommend in Restless Idealist; it’s great to play in the car and let it wash over you but it will also be good to see it performed live' ~ Folking.com
'Cracking EP from London band with a bright future. 8/10 '-Americana UK

House Above The Sun (HATS) are a five piece group from London, England, blending soulful Americana with melancholic, blues-tinged indie rock. From bittersweet balladry to intricate guitar based epics, their songs are distinguished by infectious guitar motifs, evocative lyrics, and rich vocal harmonies. Led by singer/songwriter/guitarist Jim Moreton, the group’s current line up comprises Ariel Moreton (backing vocals and percussion), Jack Neale (bass), Davide Mongirulli (drums), and Jo Griggs (backing vocals).
Since releasing their promising debut album 'Five Hours North' (2017), HATS have been steadily building a following within London's vibrant roots scene with live performances including London Folk & Roots Festival, Resonance FM and Merge Festival. On the eve of lockdown they released their critically acclaimed EP 'Time I Got Goin'', an acoustic-laden collection of songs that introduced lap steel to their sound as well as expanding their studio arrangements with strings, Hammond organ and trumpet.
The band’s 2nd full length album, 'Restless Idealist', was released on 6th June, marked by a special album release gig on 13th June at the Slaughtered Lamb in Clerkenwell, London.
