Event information
Remorae are a collective of folk and electronic musicians who bonded over a love of ‘genre-bending’ [Folk Radio UK] folk music. Their ‘unique soundscape’ [Songlines Mag] refracts trad folk through the lens of experimental and ambient electronica. An intricate, atmospheric blend of electronics, strings, guitar and vocals for fans of Jarlath Henderson, Kan, Lau, Lankum, Furrow Collective and the olllam.
They have released 3 records as Folkatron Sessions, which have been featured by Songlines Magazine, BBC Radio 3, BBC Radio 2, 6 Music and Folk Radio UK and selected for residencies at Britten Pears Arts (2022) and Glasshouse International Centre for Music (2023.)
The band met in 2017 at Upcycled Sounds’ experimental folk residency Folkatron Sessions, spending an intense week arranging, performing and recording their debut EP. Enthusiastic
reviews from Folk Radio, Eliza Carthy and Ian Stephenson spurred them on to create their ‘pioneering’ 2020 album Skiver in this same residency format, written and recorded in just 6
days. 2021 saw the release of their EP Home No More under the Folkatron Sessions banner, produced remotely and in live sessions, and featuring Mercury prize nominee Sam Lee as a guest vocalist.
In this new stage of their evolution, Remorae's sound is born from what they can create live. Using live effects and synthesisers, exploring improvisation and soundscapes, they’re delving into the resonances of old songs and discovering their connections to them.
As they embark on a UK tour, tonight's home turf show marks the release of their new single release, Johnny on the Water. And with a new EP on the horizon, 2024 is set to be a big year for the band. Don't miss!
