Description
“Critically acclaimed folk band Bird in the Belly return with their long-awaited fourth studio album. Rooted in a distinctive 70s folk-rock sound, the collection is at once lush, eerie, atmospheric and steeped in British folk tradition. Moving effortlessly between The Wicker Man-esque folk horror and Pogues-worthy folk anthems, the album explores the blurred line between real and imagined folk outsiders, the feared and the fearful, through Bird in the Belly’s trademark storytelling and meticulous research.”
“Bird in the Belly have cut a distinctive course, allying musical invention with the exhumation of obscure songs and overlooked texts” Neil Spencer, The Observer “Beautifully dark, ominous and atmospheric arrangements over which Ward’s and Webb’s vocals combine to startling effect” – RnR Magazine “Laura Ward’s lovely voice sweetens the wilfully jagged edges of fellow singer Ben Webb, as they direct dark songs to the heart” Jude Rogers, The Guardian
