Kerry Devine – Ariel
Kerry Devine - Ariel
Release Date: Out Now
When historians look back on the
music of the early 21st century I think one of the things they’ll
note is evolution of folk music. There are a slowly emerging group of artists,
Kerry Devine being one of them, who are producing music based on a folk
aesthetic but instead of mandolins and zithers, they’re using beats and
processed melodies as their melodic vehicle. This track, ‘Ariel’, is a sublime,
pre-dawn cut of ethereal folk set to the kind of ambient melody you’d expect to
hear on an Above & Beyond chill-out track or a Portishead comeback single.
If you like breathy female vocals and uber-relaxed beats sprinkled with
birdsong and the kind of melodies that exist between sleep and consciousness
then you’re in for a treat.
