Gwenifer Raymond

Gwenifer Raymond shares her new single “Bird Songs for Atomic Skies”, marking her signing to Fat Possum. Raymond calls it a mutant rag, a blues gone awry, with lyrebirds in irradiated nests and foxes whose barks are all wrong. The folk horror reaches post-apocalyptic levels. She supports Geese across America and Canada, then headlines in the UK.

Gwenifer Raymond’s third album, Last Night I Heard the Dog Star Bark, fuses folk horror with the cosmic. From the complex guitar prowess of “Jack Parsons Blues” to the eerie sounds of “Banjo Players of Aleph One,” Raymond’s new work is a natural progression of her sound that raises the instrumental acoustic guitar album to new heights and delivers something new. It’s another banger from this excellent guitarist.

Brighton’s Welsh guitar virtuoso Gwenifer Raymond announces Last Night I Heard the Dog Star Bark, a cosmic leap from her folk-horror roots. The new album and its fiery single, “Jack Parsons Blues,” meld ancient mysticism with astrophysics, translating the unfathomable equations of the cosmos into intricate, otherworldly fingerpicked melodies. Prepare for a journey beyond the terrestrial.
