Twelfth Day Channel Hypnotic Folk Songwriting With ‘Keep Me’

It's a bold return from the duo...

Twelfth Day is a two-piece partnership, two musicians tying together folk threads into something intense and hypnotic.

Catriona Price and Esther Swift, on violin and pedal harp respectively, unite to push the project forwards, with a full tour taking place in November.

Ahead of this we're able to share the bewitching mini-epic 'Keep Me' and it's endlessly cyclical folk patterns.

Unconventional yet completely open 'Keep Me' is a riveting listen, with its lyrics written from the point of view of Mother Nature.

Wrapping together those small details to create something remarkably cohesive, 'Keep Me' matches folk touches against a true pop kween.

The pair comment: “The music's multi-layered influences make it all the more an exciting listen. There’s the radio-friendly catchiness and our self-proclaimed respect for Beyoncé; there’s the swagger and surprise of jazz and funk; there’s the precision and technique of classical…”

Tune in now.
