Smote
Smote’s new album, Songs From The Free House, delves into a dark, elemental soundscape. With guest appearances from Lankum’s Ian Lynch and Sally Mason of the Smote live band, the record marries drone, folk, and electronic music. Their latest single, “Snodgerss”, is a flute-led jig turned ritual, with principal creator Daniel Foggin’s landscape gardening trade inspiring its earthy, heavy sound. The album is a powerful collision of physical and metaphysical.
