Smoke Fairies - Through Low Light and Trees

Smoke Fairies - U.S. debut for young Londoners Jessica Davies and Katherine Blamire, childhood friends who began writing and performing together in school...adapt their traditional folk songwriting to bring in darkly atmospheric American roots music -- from swampy blues to alt-country shadings strung from Texas to Appalachia // Release: Through Low Light and Trees (June 14) // Quote: "This lovely album is reminiscent of early–70s acid folk…heartfelt and sensual…poised and elegant…" - MOJO // Sounds like: Eerie, genre-bending British folk enveloped in backporch Americana, acoustic blues and a touch of drifting psychedelica -- all with distinctive madrigal-styled harmonies // What we like: the shadowy, ethereal melancholy that's wrapped around songs like "Devil In My Mind" and "Strange Mood Rising"...the snaky bass line beneath the retro jangle and fuzz of "Hotel Room"...
