Tomorrow, the six-piece funky folk band HEISK will release their new single ‘Disco’. Featuring Becca Skeoch on electro harp, Catriona Hawksworth on keys, Lauren Macdonald on kit, Megan MacDonald on accordion, Rosie Munro on fiddle and Sally Simpson on fiddle, the accompanying video finds them having a good time beneath that glitter ball. Watch the accompanying video below.
The single is taken from their eponymous debut released in August which Bob Fish reviewed for Folk Radio UK here. He remarks in his review: “They have cross-pollinated the standard music of the region, giving it a sense of electricity both literally and figuratively, creating something totally unique”, later adding: “Heisk is the sound of a band that will not be denied. Their music is irresistible.”
As far as those funky dance beats of the 70s, Disco is the standout from the record…and yes, it is irresistible.
Talking about the album, Becca Skeoch said: “After a number of years of writing and performing together, we felt it was time to record our debut album that showcased our festival party vibe and celebrated the awesome women working in the creative industries.
“Created, performed and engineered by women, the album highlights the talents of under-represented professionals in the creative industries. We are proud to have collaborated on our debut release with a female producer, photographer, videographer, mixing engineer, mastering engineer, manager and promoter. This is girl power at its best.”
