Drawing on the storytelling traditions of their Irish heritage, Coates and Smith write hymns to the shadow side: haunting murder ballads that rise, fall, simmer and brood - the sound of folk if it descended into the underworld and returned with the blackened truth.
Live, Coates testifies like an old world baritone preacher as barefoot Smith's harmonies crescendo with spine-curdling passion electrifying vocals that traverse the primal into ravishing, exorcist-style affliction.
Since 2016, the duo have magnetised a cult following along the European touring circuit, Simultaneously masterful and affecting, there's beauty in the depths- all the more rousing up close and personal.
