'Elemental Prog Folk for the Weavers and Dreamers'.

Gabriella Hunzinger creates cinematic hymns brimming with catharsis, dark romanticism that nod to the interplay between cosmos and earth. Hunzinger's songwriting leans into intensity and tension, allowing dissonance and tenderness to coexist, creating a soundscape that feels alive and raw.

Lola Simms

Lola Simms writes songs that feel like quiet confessions - the kind you stumble upon by accident and carry with you long after they end. Built around intricate guitar lines in unusual tunings, her arrangements unfold gently, leaving space for soft, unguarded vocals and lyrics that favour honesty. Her music sits comfortably within alternative folk, balancing moments of fragility with emotional clarity and restraint. Influenced by artists such as Laura Marling, Flyte and Adrianne Lenker, 

Lola's songwriting is rooted in careful storytelling and melodic curiosity, drawing listeners into small, intimate worlds. Thoughtful and quietly powerful, her writing feels deeply personal while remaining open enough for others to see themselves reflected in it, sounding unmistakably her own.
