Description
Critically acclaimed folk band Bird in the Belly return with their long-awaited fourth studio album. Rooted in a distinctive 70s folk-rock sound, the collection is at once lush, eerie, atmospheric and steeped in British folk tradition. Moving effortlessly between The Wicker Man-esque folk horror and Pogues-worthy folk anthems, the album explores the blurred line between real and imagined folk outsiders, the feared and the fearful, through Bird in the Belly's trademark storytelling and meticulous research.
