Биография

The uniquely captivating Lady Maisery return with Tender, their first studio album in six years. The band’s combined talents of Hazel Askew, Hannah James and Rowan Rheingans (individually three of the most accomplished and adventurous artists in modern folk) have created a musically audacious, boldly political and manifestly personal record that reaches far beyond their previous work. Tender is an arresting record that explores the power in vulnerability and the strength in kindness; these are songs that acknowledge our collective wounds while striving forward with a hope for the future. Frequent festival headliners, Lady Maisery have for over a decade enraptured audiences throughout the UK and Europe. In both sound and song, their latest album is an affecting, powerful and radically different record to any they have made before. Richly textured, with meticulous arrangements of electric guitar, percussion, harp, harmonium, banjo, accordion, viola, and organ bearing voices that unite in strength, harmony and message. At its core, Tender is an examination of femaleness from many sides. It’s in the responsibility and familial binds of Scientist; the experience of watching a grandmother become weaker with age, in Echoes; the sacrifices made by women for a future they would not see, remembered in Rest Now.
