Sairie

Sairie’s long-awaited debut, Beneath the Spreading Tree, sounds like a lo-fi Pentangle with an added layer of hauntological strangeness. The Brighton trio’s lead vocals make songs seem haunted by their own flickering shadows. This ageless-sounding debut is starkly in its beauty and richly rewarding.

Sairie premiere the video for “Harder Than It Seemed”, the first single from their debut album “Beneath the Spreading Tree”. Drawing influences from 70s folk, the Brighton trio’s stripped-back arrangements emphasise Emma’s striking vocals, lending an otherworldly, transportive beauty to their sound. KLOF has followed them since 2020, and this first full-length release marks a significant milestone, out 12 September.

On The Cinder Sheet, the delicate psych-folk sound of Sairie is delightfully unpredictable. They steadfastly avoid well-trodden routes with remarkable results. Anticipation grows for where they can take their open-eared psych-folk vision next.

Sairie share their video for ‘One More Kiss Dear’, originally from the film Blade Runner. It features on their forthcoming EP of film music The Cinder Sheet which is released on 23rd September.

On 23rd September, Sairie are releasing an EP of film music titled The Cinder Sheet. Watch their stunning new video for Pearl’s Song, originally from the film The Night of the Hunter (1955). It’s a masterpiece.

A really enjoyable trio of tunes from Sairie. Their distinctive sound sits well alongside Espers, The Eighteenth Day of May, and The Incredible String Band. I look forward to hearing more.

Distinguished by Emma Morton’s cool, controlled vibrato, Brighton-based Sairie return with five-track-EP Scarlet And Blue, a very persuasive blend of voice and instrumental that bodes well for their future.

Following their debut single last year, Sairie (Emma Morton, Jon Griffin and Andy Thomas) return with a new EP in March – Scarlet and Blue. Watch their video for the title track which was filmed on the Sussex hills.
