Wildwood Kin Announce Debut Album ‘Turning Tides’
Acclaimed indie alt folk band Wildwood Kin are set to release their much-anticipated debut album, Turning Tides, on August 18th.

Wildwood Kin, a family trio formed in Exeter, borrow heavily from early folk influences, but their extraordinary debut album delves deeply in to other genres, featuring both electric and acoustic instruments. It boasts inventive sonics and spectral atmospherics alongside their sublime three-part harmonies.

Guitarist Emillie Key, her bouzouki/keyboard-playing sister Beth and their drumming cousin Meghann Loney all sing, swapping leads on original songs, and joining forces on harmonies that have become their trademark, inviting comparisons with the likes of Crosby, Stills and Nash and Fleetwood Mac.

The first single to be lifted from this album is Run, an anthemic and uplifing track perfect for the festival season to come. Check out its official music video below!



Speaking about the album Emillie said,
Making the album was a huge learning process. We had no idea what we were capable of and we constantly surprised ourselves. We went in to the studio not knowing where the boundaries were and discovered that, of course, there aren’t any. That’s what we found most exciting.

Being tipped by the likes of Jo Whiley, Mark Radcliffe, Steve Wright, Bob Harris and Jamie Cullum and having previously toured with Seth Lakeman and Ward Thomas, the band play several UK headline shows this autumn.

Before that the girls will play three shows at The Islington as part of a monthly residency alongside a huge festival line-up this summer, which includes both the Glastonbury Avalon and BBC Introducing Stages, plus BBC Radio 2’s ‘Festival In A Day’ in Hyde Park.
