Edgelarks is an album that is full of muted, autumnal beauty. Edgelarks may signify a new venture for Hannah Martin and Phillip Henry, but the quality of their songwriting and performing only continues to improve, this is their best yet.

It’s been two years since the release of Trevor Moss & Hannah-Lou’s last album. After a short sabbatical taken following the birth of their son, the duo are now back on the scene with a new video to accompany their new 7″ release and a run of shows with Jools Holland and a handful of headline shows and in-stores.

On Laura Baird’s debut solo album, ‘I Wish I were a Sparrow’, she captures the spirit of the old field recordings and reveals little nuggets of joy throughout on which original and traditional songs work fluidly alongside each other. Listen to the premiere of her original Wind Wind.

Jeremy Tuplin may be the missing link between Nick Drake and ‘Space Oddity”-era Bowie. “I dreamt I was an Astronaut” is an engaging piece of work, blending excellent folk-based songwriting with creative and gently overarching production that fittingly frames Tuplin’s songs.

Dori Freeman’s highly anticipated new album ‘Letters Never Read’ is released this month. Watch her video for ‘If I Could Make You My Own’ which was filmed at the Old Fiddler’s Convention in her hometown of Galax and listen to her new single – Traditional Appalachian song ‘Over There’.

Canadian duo Harrow Fair comprising Miranda Mulholland (of Great Lake Swimmers and Belle Starr) and Andrew Penner (of Sunparlour Players) return to the UK this autumn – watch their new video for ‘When The Levee Breaks’.

Ex-Saturday Sun Frontman/Guitarist Alex Hedley returns with This Life – “a song about reflecting on the whole picture; something no one fully understands.  Questioning why bad things happen in a world that essentially could be paradise and sometimes is!” An incredible voice.

Our Song of the Day comes from Bob Delyn a’r Ebillion with Y Mab Penfelyn (The Golden Haired Boy) from their forthcoming new album Dal i ’Redig Dipyn Bach. Listen here and read Twm Morys explanation about this traditional song from Maesteg.

Hailing from Chicago, Big Sadie make their debut with Keep Me Waiting. They’re new entrants in a fairly crowded field of old-school American folk revivalism, but on this evidence, they’ll soon be rising to the upper echelons of its ranks.

First listen to experimental free-folk collective Lost Harbours ‘Towers of Silence’ – an album shot through with themes of haunted beauty, echoing terror and the destruction of the natural world.

While Hiss Golden Messenger shares the sentiments of many on the current state of affairs – he chooses to look to a brighter tomorrow, banging the drum for hope as he sings “I feel like my luck is turning…..We’ll be alright tonight.”  Hallelujah to that.
