The quartet — Georgia Butler (vocals, guitar), Spencer Withey (vocals, guitar, synth), James Ely (drums), and Archie
Sagers (six-string bass) serve their folk rare: raw and pastoral, but with a side of textural, atmospheric builds directly
wired into the tensions of the modern world. It’s a formula that has gained them slots at Green Man; Left Of The
Dial; The Great Escape; and Dot To Dot, plus support slots with Ugly, Mary in the Junkyard and Lime Garden. Early
champions at radio and press include KEXP, BBC 6 Music, Apple 1, Radio X, DIY , So Young, and Rough Trade.
After soft-launching the idea of starting a project together at End of the Road, the band’s initial practices took place
in a recital room on a brutalist university campus. A setting that, on the surface, is wildly at odds with the rural
authenticity of their sound. Pause and look, however, and the campus may have seeped its way into the architectural
structures of their songs, with an emphasis on functionality, honesty, and the incorporation of rougher textures and
exposed materials. The alchemy lies in the band’s ability to marry those spaces, and when raw elements meet
modernity, they absolutely soar.
