December 13, 2018 by Sam Stone | No Comments

Unicorn Laughing Up Your Sleeve OV 302 1

The ’70s folk-rock group Unicorn released three albums for EMI during the decade. The recordings were produced by Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour and highlighted the band’s talent for laid-back folk-rock. Their smooth, Eagles-like sound, Crosby & Nash-esque harmonies, and slick, professional production value could have won them critical acclaim, but history has largely forgotten their lush original material. (Cherry Red’s Esoteric imprint has recently taken a look at their core discography.) These days, the group is mostly known for backing up Kate Bush on her first demos and having one of their…
