Kacy & Clayton announce May UK tour + new album The Siren’s Song out via New West

Canadian psych/folk duo Kacy & Clayton have announced a European tour in May 2018, following the UK release of their new album The Siren’s Song via New West on 27 April. They shared the video of their new single “Seven Wonders” via Clash, who wrote; “There’s a feeling of full, ripe summer in its wide-open splendour, coupled with roots that extend back through the centuries.” See full European tour dates below.

The Siren’s Song set was produced by Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy and recorded by Tom Schick at Wilco’s The Loft in Chicago. The Siren’s Song, is the follow up to their acclaimed 2015 New West Records debut Strange Country, and for the first time incorporates full, electric band arrangements. Combining the startlingly expressive voice and violin of Kacy Anderson with the intricate guitar work and warm harmony vocals of her cousin and musical partner Clayton Linthicum, their sound is an arresting amalgamation of psychedelic folk, English folk revival and the ancestral music of Southern Appalachia. Now rounded out by Mike Silverman on drums and percussion and Shuyler Jansenon bass, The Siren’s Song encompasses their 60’s and 70’s Folk and Traditional Country influences, but also introduces a new emphasis on groove. They make music that seems to exist outside of time, tapping into centuries of tradition while effortlessly channelling fundamental human truths.
