Sarah Louise has shared her music video for Pipevine Swallowtails (also our Song of the Day) from her new album Deeper Woods which Glenn Kimpton recently reviewed for Folk Radio UK.
That ancient eeriness extends onto ‘Pipevine Swallowtails’, where Sally Anne Morgan’s violin line runs low and drone-like alongside a twelve string picking that abruptly stops halfway through before creating an urgent ringing repeated pattern, introducing layered, swirling vocals that come through the sacred (this word, along with ancient, peppers the set) landscape like Sirens.

Sarah Louise is also one half of the Appalachian Folk duo House and Land with Sally Anne Morgan. They recently announced a run of European dates for this July (with 11 UK dates). The tour includes a performance at Fanø Free Folk Festival, a 3-day celebration of outsider music in the intimate surroundings of the Danish island of Fanø.
