  • Description

    Mishra are a global folk collective which weaves a tight web of intricate, Indian-influenced original music that defies definition. Kate Griffin (The Magpies) and Ford Collier (BBC R2 Folk Award nominated The Drystones) are the song writing partnership behind Mishra, drawing on their unique base of influences that encompasses folk music of the UK and America, Indian classical music, and soul. The band's new album RECLAIM is a joyous celebration of music's ability to help us connect to each other and the natural world around us. Infectious tabla grooves underpin songs that deal with overcoming hardship, alongside soaring whistle instrumentals that capture the energy of an Irish tunes session, and more reflective songs that evoke the space and stillness of an Indian classical performance. The core duo are joined on RECLAIM by renowned tabla and santoor player John Ball (Rafiki Jazz, Indus) who brings 20 years of Indian classical music experience to the band, double bassist Joss Mann-Hazell, and singer/clarinettist Alex Lyon.

    Like their 2019 album THE LOFT TAPES, RECLAIM was recorded almost entirely live-in-the-room, in a farmhouse in Gloucestershire. The whole-band recordings capture the interplay of their unique instrumental line up, and the energy of their collective improvisation and feel. Inspired by how nature always takes over abandoned spaces, using it as a model for their relationship with their own creativity. Their new album is an invitation to reclaim the abandoned spaces of life and fill them with music, creativity, and nature.
