Fathoms

Fathoms is the third album by the award-winning and acclaimed folk group The Furrow Collective. Produced in Powys and Oxfordshire by honorary Furrow Andy Bell, Fathoms sees the group build further on their substantial reputation for breathing new life into traditional songs.

Fathoms captures typically innovative arrangements and sets the four distinctive voices in a magical, captivating sound-world. As with their previous collections, the impression is by turns ancient, evoking the lines back to the earliest source, and then altogether unknown; fresh as tomorrow morning.

The Furrow Collective is an English/Scottish band consisting of four talented and individually prominent performers: Lucy Farrell (viola, voice & saw), Rachel Newton (harp, fiddle, voice), Emily Portman (banjo, concertina, voice), and Alasdair Roberts (guitars, voice). The group formed in 2013, drawn together by a shared love of traditional song and balladry of England, Scotland, and beyond, and an open, intuitive approach to collaboration.
