On Vulpus, The Drystones successfully fuse 21st-century electronica with contemporary British folk music. If they are the future of folk/dance music, then it is in very safe hands.
It is a rare album that can make traditional music sound truly modern, but The Drystones have managed it here. Apparitions is the kind of album that could change the very meaning of contemporary folk music.
On ‘A Tale of Sound and Fury’ The Drystones demonstrate a sophisticated musical maturity that is far beyond their ages, full of the electrifying energy of their debut and showing a growing confidence in their playing and singing. A thrilling, must-hear collection.
