East London five-piece band Stick In The Wheel, headed by singer Nicola Kearey, and guitarist/producer Ian Carter, recently announced their second album Follow Them True which will be released 26 January 2018 and shared the lead single ‘Over Again‘.Today they have followed up with a video (by artist Teresa Elizabeth Lobos) for the album’s hypnotic and immersive title-track ‘Follow Them True’, illustrating Stick In The Wheel’s dedication to folk traditions and their unique ability to push them in new directions.
Speaking of the track the band say simply:
“Follow Them True:
Do what they did, our elders.
Keep them close, our enemies.
Be true.”
Their debut From Here (2015) was fRoots magazine ‘Album of the Year’ and a MOJO ‘Folk Album of the Year’, with four BBC Folk Award nominations since their beginnings in 2013. Known for Kearey’s fierce, authentic delivery, this is culturally and politically switched on music with its roots firmly embedded in the genre’s traditional, working-class heritage. The group have been widely commended for their timely appraisal of English Folk, and their skill in telling stories through song that reconnect modern audiences to the past – drawing unexpected parallels between then and now.
The songs within Follow Them True examine rituals and cycles, our inherent power to change ourselves and the world around us, the past repeating itself, ghosts and death, land and place, thieves and beggars. It continues to question the notion of what folk music is, and what it means in 2018. The new album expands the radical sound of their debut to include electronic and found sounds, using a broader sonic palette to create a greater depth full of layers and meaning, yet at the same time remaining totally connected with the tradition.
