Snowpoet hinges on the partnership between Lauren Kinsella and multi-instrumentalist Chris Hyson.
One is a noted singer – Jazz FM vocalist of the Year 2016, no less – while Chris Hyson is acclaimed for his ability to stretch towards virtually any style placed in front of him.
The pair worked on their debut album together to no small degree of acclaim, before deciding to go into the studio to work on a follow up.
Wonderfully retrained yet ultimately deeply influenced by jazz, Snowpoet's new album 'Thought You Knew' is a multi-faceted jewel.
Often delving into almost ambient electronics, it fuses this with acoustic tones and textures, betraying a real painterly touch.
An enthralling, delicate experience, 'Thought You Knew' unfolds gradually, entrancing with its slow-burning meditations.
Tune in now.
