An Alphabet Graveyard..clap clap!

Gentleman Auction House has gradually blossomed into a seven-piece ensemble, providing a sonically saturated accompaniment featuring a variety of instrumental textures - from piano, organ, and auxiliary percussion, to flute, trumpet, and xylophone.

May 2008 welcomed The Book of Matches EP, which served as the thematic and sonic precursor to the band's new full-length Alphabet Graveyard.

Alphabet Graveyard is a record that documents the maturation of a band who has shed the weight of its comparisons and forged a direction all their own to a very new place where solemn folk ballads, epic mood pieces and infectiously danceable pop very naturally find themselves on common ground.
