The Rheingans Sisters’ new album Start Close In was released in September 2024 to enthusiastic acclaim;The Guardian declaring it Folk Album of the Month - “a radical leap into darkness” -
and MOJO Magazine hailing it one of the Top 10 Folk Albums of 2024
“Immersive is the word - the sisters create atmospheres” RnR
Produced by New York based Adam Pietrykowski (whose genre-diverse work spans rock, contemporary classical and prog folk) the visionary duo’s new album is “wildly expressive; at the forefront of the recent upsurge in experimental, drone-led folk” (KLOF)
The sisters’ new live show is an immersive and uplifting musical journey. Taking in baroque fiddle tunes and trance beats, metal-inspired arrangements of traditional ballads and improvisations with phone voicenotes, Rowan and Anna once again make music like painters; revealing in bold colours the next soaring chapter in their unmistakable brand of avant-garde trad, blending ancient song and universal stories with future imaginings, dystopias and dreams.
“Joyous - take a bow” MOJO
Previous winners of BBC Radio 2 Folk Award for ‘Best Original Track’ and nominees for ‘Best Band’, with their uniquely blended sound of fiddles, voices, feet, banjos, electric guitar, synths and the powerful bass drones of the medieval tambourin à cordes, The Rheingans Sisters remain one of the most visionary acts on the British folk scene today.
