A Scottish singer-songwriter whose sparse arrangements and poetic lyrics have earned her a BBC Folk Award and a Scottish Album of the Year win.
For a good sense of her sound, try 'Ferryman' or 'Maybe Not.' Her live shows tend to be intimate affairs, which suits the material.
Her songs like 'Ferryman' and 'Lay-Oh' have a folk-inflected sound with sparse arrangements and poetic lyrics that often touch on love and personal reflection. She won the BBC Radio 2 Folk Award for Best Female Artist in 2012, and her debut album 'Under Mountains' took the Scottish Album of the Year Award that same year. There's a quiet intensity to her work that feels both literary and lived-in.
