THE LOW DRIFT

Songs inspired by the land. The beauty and the concrete, the mysteries and the folklore. An album about family, childhood and the memories that landscapes evoke. 

In 2019, friends in music Emma Thorpe, Matt Hill and Huw Costin came together to write songs about the land. Working under the guidance of psychogeographers Jane Samuels and Dr. Morag Rose they made a plan to explore edge-lands and barren fields. 

That journey, to nowhere in particular, is tracked on their debut album, the eponymously titled The Low Drift. Inspired by the English folk and poet musicians of their youths – Julian Cope, Robert Calvert, Kate Bush - they travelled beyond the Keep Out signs, to the ancient green lanes and sunken tracks where our ancestors buried their bones. The album features shimmering 12 string guitars, minimalist folk picking, spooky harmonies and primitive synths sounds straight out of children's TV that scarred a generation in the 1970's and 80's.
