About:

United Bible Studies

This mysterious Irish collective plays an alchemical form of psychedelic folk music that incorporates organic/electric experimentation, lo-fi psychedelic songcraft, and confident dips into the well of tradition. Their last release, The Shore that Fears the Sea(2006), garnered a harvest of critical accolades and made appearances on many year's-best lists, and summer 2008 finds them playing their first American concerts.

Sharron Kraus

English folksinger Sharron Kraus plays "dark folk music for the new millennium", with a unique approach that draws equally from the stark traditional ballad-singing of legends such as Shirley Collins and Anne Briggs, and the more experimental modern "avant folk" style. Her 2008 release The Fox's Wedding (her fourth overall, in addition to a number of collaborations with other artists, including Meg Baird of Philadelphia's Espers) features her most advanced blend yet of roots and innovation.

Evening Fires

From their secret den in a northern Appalachian forest, Evening Fires brew up a rich blend of wide-spectrum rural psychedelia, with ingredients ranging from earthy folk sounds to cosmic drones to full-on rock freakouts.
