After the success of psychedelic folk outfit The Migrant, frontman Bjarke Bendtsen is ready to transcend furthermore into electronic folk-rock territory with the release of his latest project Rainbrother’s debut album Tales From The Drought, out on 3rd February 2017 via General Bird.
Tales From The Drought is all about making your way whilst on the road, dwelling on memories both beautiful and troublesome and coming to terms with the decisions that have been made. Album opener ‘Riverside’ is a stunning piece of songwriting that carries you away into the abyss and as the album continues, so do your thoughts. Each one a little more comforting than the next. Tales From The Drought invites the listener into a speckled dream, filled with steady beats, wistful Pink Floyd inspired guitar slides and a storytelling charm akin to the likes of Fleet Foxes and Bon Iver.
Bjarke has already received praise from numerous well-regarded publications including Rolling Stone, Americana UK, Drowned In Sound and Pop Matters to name but a few. He has also been praised by the likes of BBC 6music’s Lauren Laverne and has supported acts such as Kurt Vile, Villagers and Sharon Van Etton. Rainbrother will also be performing at the upcoming SXSW festival in 2017.
Laura Frances
Laura Frances is a new and haunting voice. She began performing her songs as recently as April 2016, and has since been turning heads at many of London’s various folk nights.
A powerful and unexpected baritone that recalls Mazzy Star, tracing precise and beautifully crafted melodies over hypnotic and minimalist guitar. Her mystical lyrics are deeply reflective in nature, and capture the fragile and vaporous forms of the inner world.
2017 is set to be an important year for Laura, with the recording of her debut E.P underway, and a music video in the pipeline.
