Firefly Burning New Album Release

PRS Foundation’s Open Fund is supporting London five-piece Firefly Burning to master, promote and launch their third album in 2018, recorded in collaboration with legendary producer, Tim Friese-Greene. Their new music has been written and recorded in residence at Snape Maltings and in London where the band have been developing an as-live recording approach to capture their dynamic live sound on record. The album has been composed collaboratively, with lyrics by the band and from Thomas Hardy and Rilke and represents a powerful evolution of Firefly Burning’s distinctive sound, weaving together close vocal harmonies, gamelan, synthesizer, strings, guitar and piano. With inflections of classical minimalism, contemporary folk and art-pop, it builds on the critical success of their last album, Skeleton Hill, “fresh, original and often audacious…old and futuristic at the same time” ★★★★ MOJO Magazine, “strange but soaring, dense but addictive” ★★★★ The Times.

Since touring Skeleton Hill, the band have been been making a covers project with filmmaker, Fred MacGregor, and ‘Beloved’ from Skeleton Hill has recently been released as the opening track of folk and roots compilation ‘Sonic Bloom’. Firefly Burning are Jack Ross, James Redwood, Sam Glazer and John Barber, and Bea Hankey.
