Andrew wants to write lo-fi folk from the hills and the concrete. His songs set out on journeys across births, over hills, into decay, past daydreams. They skirt around nightmares, hazard guesses at new ways and old muck, starve the soul and cut our losses free.
He tries to avoid just writing songs about birds, but sometimes that’s hard.
Andrew released his first EP, called A Quiet Life, in March 2022, and his first album – Sister Winter – in June 2024.
