With Streams of Forms, Marlais stitches together traditional folk and ambient electronica in ways that are ground-breaking. Bold and hypnotizing, it will be worth keeping an ear out for a taste of whatever this outside-the-box sonic chef cooks up next.
Shot by Olle Holmberg one morning in the bar where Marlais works, watch ‘Out of the Window’, taken from his new album ‘Stream of Forms’ which was inspired by the oral traditions of English and Irish folk music.
Marlais, the stage name of Michael Culme-Seymour, returns in July with a tape of folk songs “The Nightingales Are Drunk”. Watch him performing ‘My Bonny Boy’ inspired by Anne Briggs.
Listen to ‘Meeting is a Pleasure’, a traditional folk ballad and the new single from Marlais who chats to us about his musical influences…from Vic Mars to Paddy Tunney.
