THE LOW DRIFT

Songs inspired by the land. The beauty and the concrete, the mysteries and the folklore. Music about Family and Childhood and the memories that landscapes evoke.

?The Low Drift is a wonderfully poetic journey through land and memory, exploring the incredible connections we have to the geography around us. A truly beautiful album full of magic and haunting imagery.? Fatea

?Sounding like a dark bucolic folk answer to Crosby, Stills & Nash. A haunting, atmospheric album that brings a welcome new musical perspective on our connection to the land.? Folking.com

Three acclaimed singer-songwriters - Emma Thorpe, Matt Hill and Huw Costin ? go on walks and then write songs about them. Inspired by a previous generation of English folk and poet musicians ? Julian Cope, Robert Wyatt, Kate Bush - they travel beyond the Keep Out signs to the ancient green lanes and sunken tracks, where our ancestors buried their bones. The songs explore folklore, family, childhood and the memories that landscapes evoke.

This engaging evening of songs and stories will feature shimmering 12 string guitars, minimalist folk picking, spooky harmonies and primitive synths sounds. The Low Drift is a show that will reinvigorate your relationship to these wonderful islands we live on.
