“Lyrics and musical arrangements crackle with wide-eyed curiosity.” Jude Rogers, The Guardian
‘Swilkie’, the latest album from highlands-based songwriter Iona Lane, weaves ecology, conservation, islands and folklore into poetic songs and contemplative melodies. Written during three residencies on the Isle of Eigg, Isle of Mull and Sanday in Orkney, sense of place and landscape are at the core of these songs.
From basking sharks to lighthouses, lichen to vanishing islands, curlews to shipwrecks; the album was recorded in a boathouse on the West Coast of Scotland and the eager listener may even hear the lapping sound of the tide murmuring through the album. Iona’s connection to places by the sea is translated through these songs with evolving vocal melodies, subtle guitar and droning shruti box.
“Lyrics and musical arrangements crackle with wide-eyed curiosity.” Jude Rogers, The Guardian
“A real talent!” Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio 2 Folk Show
“Iona feels like a kindred spirit with her gorgeous evocations of landscape and geeky scientific references.” Karine Polwart
“An ethereal voice, poetic phrase and storytelling” BBC Countryfile Magazine
