Nashville Babylon Presents Angela Autumn

Betsey Trotwood · London

Angela Autumn has always been drawn to the mountains. Raised in the Appalachian region of western Pennsylvania, she channels that landscape in her voice, funneling the timeless influence of mountain streams and rolling foothills into her genre-bending folksongs. With her second album, though, she proves she's every bit as interested in the modern age as tradition. Believer is a musical melting pot of a record, blending the mountain music of Autumn's past with the hybridized sounds (including indie, psychedelia, pop, and gothic country) of her present. Audiences still call her "The Rose of Appalachia" — a nickname that nods to the Allegheny roots and clawhammer banjo skills that helped her blossom into a critically-beloved solo artist — but Believer showcases the other flowers in her garden, making room for keyboards, cello, and billowing clouds of reverb. The result is an eclectic record that captures Autumn in full bloom, pushing beyond the primitive twang of her Appalachian influences to chase down a cross-pollinated sound of her own making.

Sairie + Roger Kunkel & Stoo Odom + Simon Breed

Betsey Trotwood · London

Clerkenville East-West presents an evening of entrancing and extraordinary music. We have the London launch of the debut album by Brighton-based ethereal folk trio Sairie, from the US - Roger Kunkel + Stoo Odom - formerly of mighty acid/ Paisley/ desert rockers Thin White Rope, and gripping London singer-songwriter Simon Breed. After releasing a series of captivating singles and EPs since 2020, SAIRIE launch their first full-length album, ‘Beneath the Spreading Tree’. It continues the trio's exploration of early 70’s folk influences, blending otherworldly atmospherics with stripped-back arrangements. In a four star review, The Guardian heralded its "glistening psych-folk...Singer Emma Morton brings an indie-girl chorister’s brightness to this captivating debut album, on songs with hints of darkness that sound ages-old". While KLOF Magazine wrote: "Sairie’s long-awaited debut sounds like a lo-fi Pentangle with an added layer of hauntological strangeness...This ageless-sounding debut is stark in its beauty and richly rewarding." https://sairie.bandcamp.com/ "80% improvised guitar and bass duo" ROGER KUNKEL & STOO ODOM were members of much lauded Californian rock band Thin W...
