Fiona Soe Paing’s innovative brew of electro alt-folk melds her Scottish/Burmese heritage, electronic music background and fascination with the darker side of North-East Scotland’s balladry tradition with a delicately blended palette of silvery electronic textures and traditional Scottish sounds. Otherworldly vocals, grainy synths, haunted strings and sounds from nature create a mesmerizing and evocative soundtrack for the accompanying visuals by collaborator Isla Goldie.
Described by Songlines Magazine as “a sublimely powerful and lingering experience”, re-imaginings of ancient stories conjure a compelling blend of tradition and innovation, challenging perspectives and offering an invitation to view our familiar landscapes through a new lens.
