Our Take

Emily Barker & The Red Clay Halo have come out swinging with their latest album, "Despite The Snow." This release sees the group leaning into their folk roots with a twist of indie rock sensibilities, resulting in a unique and captivating sonic experience.

From the haunting melodies of "Sister Goodbye" to the foot-stomping energy of "Fields of June," each track on this album showcases the band's versatility and musical prowess. Barker's vocals are as mesmerizing as ever, effortlessly weaving between tender moments of vulnerability and powerful bursts of emotion.

The production on "Despite The Snow" is top-notch, with lush instrumentation and intricate arrangements that perfectly complement the album's lyrical themes of love, loss, and resilience. The Red Clay Halo's harmonies soar throughout, adding an ethereal quality to each song.

Standout tracks include the anthemic "Ghosts," the introspective "Letters," and the epic closer "In The Winter I Returned." These songs showcase the band at the top of their game, delivering heartfelt performances that will linger in your mind long after the final note fades.

Overall, "Despite The Snow" is a triumph for Emily Barker & The Red Clay Halo, solidifying their status as one of the UK's most exciting and talented folk acts. This album is a must-listen for fans of folk music with a contemporary edge. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
