EU Tour

From both of our hearts we wanted to say a big thank you to those of you wonderful humans who have been so welcoming and hospitable during these past few weeks of our EU tour! We have faced some real difficulties along the way but with determination, will power and true love, we saw it through to the end. (even if our car was towed back home with all our equipment inside) The hard times have only re~enforced the kindness of the people we have known and met along the way.

BBC Radio Wales

Thank you to Adam Walton on BBC Radio Wales for spinning our track ‘Harvest’ on his show last night which you can listen to here

Watch the music video for our single Harvest below

“Harvest is the outcome of a social experiment, filmed over the duration of two hours, designed to explore and capture one of the fundamental concepts behind the album Ascension; the transitioning between one plain of consciousness to another. With dance being one the most primitive forms of human behaviour, we created a musical environment that shifted between five notions. Orchestrated with the intention of removing each individual from their bodies, from time and from their conscious state of awareness, to a state of catharsis and transcendence, we documented the language of movement that became the immediate dialogue of their subconscious, and in turn, witnessed the collective ascension of the group to pass into an altered state; a higher frequency and dimension of being and energy.”

New Write Up

Thank you to Rob From Ban Ban Ton Ton for his words on Ascension.

Here’s a snippet from the full article: “Sometimes a melancholy tugging on Americana tropes. Epic, aching, forest fires, and explosions of Shoegaze vapor. Sunset resonance. Birds and cattle in its distance. Blues mantras broken out at the golden hour. Barefoot in a sanctuary, somewhere in Wales.”
