Witch of the Vale
Electronic Folk
Witch of the Vale are Erin and Ryan, an unsettling electronic duo from the serene shores of Loch Lomond and the remote Outer Hebridean Isles. In December 2020, Witch of the Vale released their debut album Commemorate with Cleopatra Records , which is now available on CD and vinyl . They have also since been featured in the official movie soundtracks for Baphomet and Scavenger.
The duo are are best identified by their haunting vocal style coupled with harmonic synths. These in turn are starkly contrasted by deep drones and abrasive drums. With Erin’s sincere, melancholic lyrics, their sound is at once ethereal and devastating. Live, their performance has been described as compelling and tortured. Their sound easily compliments more energetic artists, providing a tempo break in line-ups to deliver an atmospheric and deeply emotional experience.
Although still a fairly new act, Witch of the Vale are rapidly piquing interest and were enthusiastically received at their debut festival appearance in August 2019 at Infest UK.
