Transporting melodies, with a mixture and dark and delicate folk roots, and tight, harmony-driven, hip wiggling world folk grooves.

Lead vocalist Freeborn and Woodburn explore a blend of folk, blues, indie and pop genres in their writing always searching for where a playful and ethereal soundscape meet. Multi instrumentalists Height and Seddon add to the sonic mix their knowledge of folk styles and grooves from around the world.
