"There isn’t anyone else quite like them... Hands of the Heron unveil a profound sense of tranquillity and aesthetic allure – a soothing balm for the contemporary world." - KLOF Mag
“Like The Unthanks, Hands of the Heron’s Bec Garthwaite, Beth Roberts and Claire Vine share a near-telepathic gift for unaccompanied singing… fabulously transporting and hypnotic. Like the best folk music, Quiet Light also radiates a sense of community and mutual support, Garthwaite, Roberts and Vine operating as a diversely gifted sisterhood.” - PROG Magazine
Bristol-based psych folk trio Hands of the Heron is a long-running collaboration between Bec Garthwaite, Beth Roberts & Claire Vine, each of whom brings a signature songwriting style to the band.
Moving effortlessly between sparse choral folk and shimmering instrumental textures, their interlocking vocal harmonies are a constant thread running through the various hues of their dreamlike, mercurial songs.
“Quiet Light offers a celestial dreamscape for any willing ears to join their already considerable following.” - Irish Music Magazine
Their third album Quiet Light (Cuculi Records, 22 Nov 2024) is a seamless expression of blend and balance that explores the tension between tending for yourself and connecting with others.
“A positive, soul-enriching experience… with intimate, sublimely detailed arrangements that create a strong sense of continuity… tender & hypnotically precise. An album of quiet light and not-so-quiet beauty that makes a striking impact, proving spiritually as well as musically rewarding.” - Folk London
