For those seeking an antidote to festive schmaltz, you need look no further than London-based alt-folk trio Thickets. Listen to their new single A Winter’s Warning, a wintery murder ballad to chill even the most hardened folkie.
Thickets create fascinatingly original music, and Four Last Words is a real tonic providing a welcome contrast to much of the anodyne outpourings to be heard on mainstream media – intelligent, beguiling, haunting…seek it out.
Thickets are a three-piece alternative-folk band from London playing autoharp, cello and drums. The range of music they achieve is incredible…one that more people should know about.
