“Classic rural folk, seasoned, weather-hardened, aged-like-stone folk.”
William Wolstenholme, BBC Introducing Cumbria & Lancashire
"J P Worsfold has a bittersweet slow-pooling melancholy that echoes with and in our current time."
Robert Macfarlane, Award Winning Author of Spell Songs and The Lost Words
"J P Worsfold is the traditional English folk troubadour that has been missing from the modern musical climate for far too long." Aldora Britain Records
Emily Mercer is a genre-defiant indie artist based in Manchester. With a sound that is at once nostalgic and strikingly original, her songs are the sum of many parts, from indie pop hooks to jazz-inspired harmony backed by rich keys and smooth grooves. The result is a warm and sophisticated soundscape that digs deep. Through a sharp and playful lyricism, Mercer draws us into her introspective spiral, exploring all that makes us messy and human.
For Fans of: Mitski, Weyes Blood, Clairo, Mac DeMarco, Fiona Apple, Andy Shauf, Madison Cunningham, Lucy Dacus
