Burnt Moth (Album) Released 2016
Burnt Moths sincere yet tranquil vocals guide the wandering melodies of this album through the different folk scenes of the past, while the playful lyrics cast a contemporary feel onto a perhaps previously dusty setting. Songs as soft as sunlight trickling down through autumnal leaves are grounded by the intricate Jansch-like guitar plucking.
