Remorae (formerly Folkatron Sessions) are a collective of folk, jazz and electronic musicians from the UK and France who bonded over a love of ‘genre-bending’ [Folk Radio UK] folk music. Their ‘unique soundscape’ [Songlines Mag] refracts trad folk through the lens of experimental and ambient electronica. An intricate, atmospheric blend of electronics, strings, guitar and vocals for fans of Jarlath Henderson, Kan, Lau, Furrow Collective and the olllam.
They have released 3 records, been featured by Songlines Magazine, BBC Radio 3, BBC Radio 2, 6 Music and Folk Radio UK and are 2022 Britten Pears Residency Artists.
They met in 2017 at an Upcycled Sounds experimental folk residency, spending an intense week arranging, performing and recording their debut EP. Enthusiastic reviews from Folk Radio, Eliza Carthy and Ian Stephenson spurred them on to create their ‘pioneering’ 2020 album Skiver in this same residency format, written and recorded in just 6 days. 2021 saw the release of their EP ‘Home No More’, produced remotely and in live sessions, and featuring Mercury prize nominee Sam Lee as a guest vocalist.
