Smoke Fairies announce new album "Darkness Brings The Wonders Home", out 31st January 2020
Pre-order “Darkness Brings The Wonders Home” here. Smoke Fairies have announced the release of their first album in four years. “Darkness Brings The Wonders Home” will be released on January 31st coupled with new tour dates for the band. The first single to be taken from the album “Disconnect” is released today. Jessica and Katherine travelled to Seattle to record Darkness Brings The Wonders Home with producer Phil Ek (The Black Angels, Fleet Foxes, The Shins).
In the making of Darkness Brings The Wonders Home, Smoke Fairies drew inspiration from mysteries both real and imagined: sea monsters, flocks of crows taking flight in extravagant formation, strange creatures dwelling in the mud near their new South London abode. “Times of darkness are when people are often the most imaginative,” says Jessica Davies in reflecting on the album’s title. “It helps you to see all the wonders of the world you hadn’t noticed before - the things you’ve been blind to because you’ve been on autopilot for so long.”
To celebrate the album’s release Smoke Fairies have dropped a new track “Out Of The Woods” in August and follow it with the first single “Disconnect” which is released on streaming and download platforms today. The new album Darkness Brings The Wonders Home is available to pre-order here
"Blamire and Davies don’t trade vocal duties so much as appear to sing from the same body, their voices nearly indistinguishable, shifting between smoky moans and toe-curling trills” – Pitchfork
“Smoke Fairies rely on intertwining...their two voices move in close harmonies, with timbres blending almost like sisters.” – New York Times
