about

Remorae are a collective of folk, jazz and electronic musicians brought together by the Folkatron Sessions recording project (featured by Songlines Magazine, BBC Radio 3, BBC Radio 2, 6 Music, Soho Radio, and Folk Radio UK). Described as ‘eclectic’, ‘genre-bending’, and ‘an English Lankum’, Remorae intertwines strings, close harmony vocals, and electric guitar with live electronics to create soundworlds that shift between ambient, pulsing, cinematic and intimate, sometimes shimmering and glitching, sometimes raw and strange.

Exploring traditional musics through experimental processes, their EP Flourish in Green (2024) is the culmination of many years of experimenting with musical forms and modes of collaboration in unique constellations of artists, and represents a pivot-point in the group’s creative practice, centring improvisation and live performance.

Remorae have been supported with residencies at Britten Pears Arts and The Glasshouse, are 2024-5 EFDSS Alan James Creative Bursary artists.
