Her By Design is out! The album was created with vinyl in mind, so if you’re listening on CD / streaming, after track 4 you have to imagine turning the record over. Spread the word if you like the music! Physical copies & merch: jennbutterworth.bandcamp.com #vinyl #newalbum #newrelease

Done! Very nice. Contemporary Folk; written, performed and produced extremely well. The mood always has a tinge of sadness to it but the sound is warm and pleasant throughout. Great job, @jennbutterworth.bsky.social ! Highly recommended!

Who would have foreseen that by effectively stealing music from artists by stopping paying out on songs that have less than 1000 streams in the past 12 months would result in a first ever annual profit for Spotify? In related news: PLEASE USE BANDCAMP

It's great to see albums from Jacken Elswyth and the Rheingans Sisters (EFDSS Creative Bursary recipients) included in @theguardian.com's top 10 folk albums of 2024. We've had the pleasure of seeing both perform at Cecil Sharp House in recent years.

Traditional songs in dub, Irish keening with touches of Yoko Ono and shape-note hymns with sound-processing were among the year’s records renewing an ever elusive genre

Thread of unique Holiday music. Awake Arise: A Winter Album. By Lady Maisery, Jimmy Aldridge, and Sid Goldsmith. It's a marvelous collection of traditional English Folk music for the season, spoken word, and original. Truly a journey through winter to be listened to in it's completeness.
