UK first press 2024.
Folk music but make it slightly side eye and fully awake. Old songs dragged into the present with drum machines, harmonium drones and vocals that feel like they’ve seen things. It’s traditional at the root but restless about it, like it refuses to be kept in a museum. Stark, clever and a bit unsettling in the best way. Stick it on and suddenly the past feels uncomfortably current. FFO Lankum, Shirley Collins, Richard Dawson, Eliza Carthy, This Is The Kit
