Watch a video exclusive of Josienne Clarke’s ‘A Letter On A Page’. Filmed by Alec Bowman Clarke, the song was written at a time when she wasn’t sure if she’d ever play music again… It’s from “A Small Unknowable Thing”, Clarke’s second solo album due for release on August 13th.
From the off, Son Volt’s ‘Electro Meloidier’ is brimming with an artistic assuredness. The songs are potent and refreshing; songs that demand to be written will always make for a more intense and rewarding experience as they do here. This is must-hear Americana for 2021.
Taken from folk duo Gawain and the Green Knight’s new EP ‘A Sleeping Place’, watch their video for “The Dressmaker”, their first “stomp-and holler” song and a reflection on the quiet triumphs that make up a life. The video features the incredible embroidery of Yoshie Kawakami.

Alasdair Roberts and Völvur’s “The Old Fabled River” is full of subtle mirrors, the dualism and continuity of life, pairs and opposites…a satisfyingly literary accomplishment, but also humane and wild and as vividly detailed as we’ve come to expect from anything Roberts is involved in.
