about

Folk Noir is here. British Folk meets French chanson and European influences.

"This is not your standard, backwards looking folk rock album; this is the sound of folk going forwards. " Grey Malkin: The Active Listener

"An excellent album that travels far beyond its original basis in folk music to create some of the most inventive sounds I've heard in recent times."
Bliss/Aquamarine

Steve Collins gathers various musicians around him to bring some lovely English-styled acid/psych folk to light. Thoroughly drenched in lysergia, as well as bardic tradition, it is comprised of male and female vocalists, viola, violin, recorder, accordion, and acoustic and electric guitars. It evokes simpler times, as the stories of old unfold, by those who carry this tradition forward, while honouring the past. Nickie Harte Kelly
