Watch the highly touted Irish folk singer-songwriter Lorraine Nash performing a gorgeous acoustic solo version of ‘Getting Started’, her first single (released this week), taken from her new EP, due in 2025.

Listen to our latest Monday Morning Brew Playlist featuring The Rheingans Sisters, Laura Jane Wilkie, Dani Larkin, Gillian Welch & David Rawlings, This Frontier Needs Heroes, Jake Xerxes Fussell, Georgia Ruth, Andrew Tuttle/Michael Chapman, Chris Cohen, McKowski/Nick Power, Julian Taylor, D.C Cross and more.

“Another Tide, Another Fish” contains imaginative re-workings and improvisations by Andrew Tuttle of the late great Michael Chapman’s unfinished instrumental album. Taken from the album, watch the accompanying video for ‘Wholly Unrelated To Four Seasons’.

To celebrate the release of ‘Wes Tirey Sings Selected Works of Billy the Kid’, on Sun Cru, watch his video for ‘Work 5’ – “…Lost cowboy psych folk, maybe. Concrete cowboy poetry with a tinge of old weird Americana. Ominous lo fi 70s Western soundtrack.”

Dorothy Carter’s 1976 debut album, Troubadour, is to be reissued for the first time by Drag City. Taken from that album, listen to the mesmerising Masquerade, released as a single today.

Watch Dean McPhee’s ‘The Bradford Boar’, filmed by Dave George and inspired by the Ben Wheatley film “A Field in England”. It features on a split cassette release (with Pefkin), available on Folklore Tapes as part of their Ceremonial Counties Subscription Series.

As Throat, Mark Mckowski and Nick Power deliver a fascinating folk horror debut—like a bleak lysergic-fuelled version of The Wicker Man; it’s unnerving but leaves you strangely wanting more.

Taken from David Grubb’s forthcoming third album, Circadia, which investigates the weird and wonderful phenomena encountered through the sleep phases and encompasses folk, jazz, prog, klezmer, and more, watch the video for his lead single, ‘Daily Grind’.

Our latest Monday Morning Brew playlist features music from AJ Woods, Jake Xerxes Fussell, Rónán Ó Snodaigh & Myles O’Reilly, We Are Muffy, Peel Dream Machine, Chantal Acda, Dialect, Masayoshi Fujita, Cabane & Kate Stables, Constant Follower, The Dead Tongues and more.

Filmed and musically scored by Myles O’Reilly, the flora and fauna of Rónán Ó Snodaigh’s poem, When Peace Broke Out In The Garden, become the central characters in an epic tale of war, negotiation, peace talks and transformation.

Watch the video for ‘We Are A Circle’, the lead single from Simon Jones’ new ‘folk horror’ EP, Lust, Desire & Blood, inspired by memories of Folk Horror classics like Children Of The Stones, and those creepy public information films he watched as a boy.

London Songstress Rosie Alena breathes new life into ‘Oh Dear, What Can The Matter Be’, an English Nursery rhyme dating from the late 18th Century and ‘Silver Dagger’ that she recontextualises to fit within her own sonic world – “becoming my stories to tell.”
