House Folk and Three Tanners Bank are over the moon to welcome Toria Wooff this May!
Her label, Sloe Flower have a real skill in identifying incredible talent so if you enjoyed label friend, Sarah Jane Scouten last year, this is definitely one for you!
Finding splendour in shadows, Toria Wooff sings tales of the beautifully strange. Announcing the release of her beguiling self-titled debut album, her gothic approach to the folk tradition has captured the attention of any who have caught her live over the last couple of years and as the record takes listeners deeper into her bittersweet world, it’s only a matter of time before countless others will fall under her spell. Toria heads out on a headline tour this Spring to play the album in full to audiences across the UK.
Containing tales of love, loss, hope, relationships and womanhood, the album is both an exorcism of torment and an invitation to feeling only what is good. Tugging at the cloaks of contemporary folk souls Katie J Pearson and This Is The Kit , the record offers a contemporary twist on the Anglo folk tradition through a bloody cocktail of classic rock origins and transcends time as it nods to the lyrical narratives of Led Zeppelin, Fairport Convention and Townes Van Zandt - all the while infused with inspiration from her collection of gothic literature and historical texts.
