Haunting acid-folk trio

Deceptively stripped-back, other-worldly and beautiful. Ghosts, fairies and tragic love. The Brighton three piece of Emma Morton, Jon Griffin and Andy Thomas cast magic spells upon the listener. Their music is like a séance; an enchanted visit to the inside of a hollow hill.
To date, Sairie have released two 7” singles on the Fenny Compton and Gardener’s Delight labels, and two self-released EPs distributed by Hudson Records. Their releases so far have received a lot of critical praise, and The
Cinder Sheet EP beguiled Stewart Lee, who wrote about it in The Idler Magazine. Sairie now present their first full-length album, Beneath the Spreading Tree.
...acoustically expansive, drone-deepened, acid-folk nuggets” - Stewart Lee, Idler Magazine
“Hearkening back to the early 70’s heyday of acid and psychedelic folk (and inhabiting the same landscape as landmarks such as Vashti Bunyan’s Just Another Diamond Day and Trees‘ The Garden of Jane Delawney), Sairie’s gentle, graceful songs are both pleasingly out of time and otherworldly.” - Grey Malkin, Moof Magazine “I love that this delicate sound still has a place in the 21st-century arena and that it is purveyed by such exemplary practitioners who are delightfully unpredictable and steadfastly avoiding well-trodden routes.” - Danny Neill, Folk Radio UK

Sparse, delicate psych-folk trio from east sussex mixing original songs with traditional material, drawn to folklore, dark tales and landscape. Formed in 2018, they have released two 7-inch singles, the ep scarlet and blue and the digital ep the cinder sheet, a set of film song covers made remotely during lockdown.
