‘With both spoken word and sung lyrics populating the lushly ethereal folk arrangement, the track slots in alongside those contemporaries like Cassandra Jenkins. Songs looking to push the possibilities of language within the indie folk movement, and elevate the emotions found within.’ This is how Various Small Flames review describes ANNA WESTIN's single, Bright Burning Mess, released on sophomore album LEV in March 2022. Anna is a singer, songwriter, and poet. Her music fuses folk, electronic and experimental music, producing a raw and unique sound. Based between the Canadian East Coast, and London, UK, Anna’s latest album LEV was produced by Voka Gentle’s Ellie and Imogen Mason (Mara Simpson), and mixed by Marcus Hamblett.

BELLS, led by multi-disciplinary artist Kandice Holmes, expands from solo performance to a sprawling psychedelic-folk and experimental ensemble, based between London and Greek Island Lesvos. Kandice’s prophetic lyricism takes inspiration from the wisdom and poetry of the Psalms, with songs that speak of hope despite the circumstance. Her first release came in February 2020 as a collaboration with friends Kikagaku Moyo, covering the traditional folk song ‘Gypsy Davey’ released by Sub Pop.
