some of it was true!

Do you have some memories you keep locked in a box in your brain, only dwelling on them in soft, damp-eyed moments of vulnerability?  The music of Smoke Fairies - aka the London duo of Jessica Davies and Katherine Blamire – is imbued with that same spirituality and raw intensity: theirs are aching, beautiful tunes that threaten to explode like fireworks such is the passion in them.  The genre is a sort of gospel, folky blues, best listened to in a dimly-lit chamber rich with incense and red wine.  Celtic influences add to the atmosphere, and the music gradually becomes a swirling river to float away on, a hypnotic dream the colour of seaweed or dewy grass.  No wonder Jack White’s a fan.

Smoke Fairies are playing the Camden Crawl this year if you fancy checking them out live, and reckon you can keep it all together…
