'Punisher' by Phoebe Bridgers is a hauntingly beautiful album filled with introspective lyrics, lush instrumentation, and ethereal vocals.

Athens, Georigia-based guitarist and songwriter, Shane Parish, offers this peak behind the curtain of his first full-length album of ‘songs with words’ with a lush and hypnotic video for his deliciously quirky “Walk Back Words”, also our Song of the Day. #songoftheday #altfolk #folk https://www.folkradio.co.uk/2023/02/shane-parish-walk-back-words-song-of-the-day/

On Aonaracht, Irish harper, composer and sound engineer Úna Monaghan is joined by Paddy Glackin, Saileog Ní Cheannabháin, Tiarnán Ó Duinnchinn, Pauline Scanlon, and Jack Talty. The universe she creates is so carefully constructed; it’s thought-provoking, graceful, and complete, so why would you ever leave? #albumreview #irishfolk #folk #folkmusic #altfolk #experiemntalfolk https://www.folkradio.co.uk/2023/02/una-monaghan-aonaracht/

For her new album 'Domestic Sphere' (Fire Records), Josephine Foster performs solely with her electric guitar; watch the accompanying video for her lead single, Pendulum. “These songs are vigils, melodies sung intently, to be set aflame and sung off with the wind.” #alternative #altfolk #folk https://www.folkradio.co.uk/2023/01/josephine-foster-pendulum-domestic-sphere/

Latest Review: Meg Baird’s ‘Furling’ is unlike anything she has done before. Impressively, she and Charlie Saufley recorded every instrument and the intimacy of their musical connection is plain to see. Baird has mastered the balancing act between maturity and eclecticism perfectly, and the results are spellbinding. #folk #altfolk #psychfolk #albumreview https://www.folkradio.co.uk/2023/01/meg-baird-furling/

Our Song of the Day is taken from ‘The Portable Herman Dune Vol 2’. Watch ‘Undiscarded Jacaranda’, one of the only Herman Dune songs ever written with a chorus in French, sung by his partner Mayon Hanania. This could easily become a timeless classic. #folk #altfolk #videopremiere #songoftheday https://www.folkradio.co.uk/2023/01/video-herman-dune-undiscarded-jacaranda/

Latest Review: With ‘Prize’, Rozi Plain lyrically reinvents the mundane and presents it as philosophical rhetoric. While the silky melodies and relaxed, walking-paced rhythms which define her music are very much present throughout this album, moments build into a groovy, excited triumph – it is brilliance. #altfolk #indiefolk https://www.folkradio.co.uk/2023/01/rozi-plain-prize/

Watch the video (by Liam J McLaughlin) for Jodie Elizabeth King's 'Flesh and Bone', the title track of her forthcoming debut EP. The visuals and sparse arrangements help to accentuate her plaintive vocals and take this song to another level. Outstanding. #folk #indiefolk #altfolk https://www.folkradio.co.uk/2023/01/video-premiere-jodie-elizabeth-king-flesh-and-bone/

Song of the Day: Taken from her new album 'Furling' (Drag City Records), ‘Ashes, Ashes’ is the latest single from Meg Baird. Watch the video by Rachael Pony Cassells which accentuates the dream-like feel of this moving meditation – a swooning slow jam over which Baird’s mesmerising vocals soar. #altfolk #folk https://www.folkradio.co.uk/2023/01/watch-meg-baird-ashes-ashes-song-of-the-day/

Latest Review: Although her words are incredibly poetic and powerful on their own, just as poetry should be read allowed to fully grasp its intent, it’s the immeasurably emotive way that Moriah Bailey delivers her lines on ‘i tried words ‘ that portrays their true meaning. #folk #folkmusic #altfolk https://www.folkradio.co.uk/2023/01/moriah-bailey-i-tried-words/
