The All Night Chemist are the newest wannabe dad-rock folk band on the London scene. Just a bit too earnest to be truly tongue and cheek, their songs celebrate and mock the mundane while stirring the soul. Anything from cheesy pop bangers about mobile phones, to moody trad folk exploring the modern-day fur industry, their music has storytelling at its heart.
Taking inspiration from the likes of Neil Young, Flaming Lips and They Might Be Giants, expect a 70s inspired alt-country romp.
‘Daft and Irresistible’ – Tom Robinson, BBC 6 Music
Support comes from Fritillaries
Fritillaries is the folk/Americana songwriter project from Hannah Pawson, a Bristol-based musician playing her songs on guitar and banjo. Her recent songs have their hands in the soil and take a compassionate look at the shadowy parts of ourselves.
Fritillaries’ music is sometimes upbeat and bold, sometimes slow and contemplative and is always original and engaging, combining Americana instrumentation and English folk roots with pop.
“Wonderful” – Cerys Matthews, BBC 6 Music
