Our work draws inspiration from personal genealogy, counterculture history, and the natural landscapes of Oxfordshire and Edinburgh. We specialise in crafting intricate, emotive compositions using a DIY ethos, recorded in modest setups that prioritise authenticity and emotional resonance.Our music has been archived by the British Library Sound Archive, reflecting its cultural and historical significance. We embrace a diverse range of genres, from pastoral instrumentals to politically charged anthems, aiming to connect listeners with the profound storytelling power of music.
