The Grace Smith Trio, a new and exhilarating voice in the flourishing instrumental folk scene of the British Isles. For their first album Overleaf they gathered a number of tunes, some of which date back many centuries, others being written by the band members themselves. Grains of minimalism, chamber and cinematic music pop up in every track, but they are so subtle and well calibrated that they only enrich the sound texture, adding complexity and brilliance to the overall result. One of the most spellbinding releases in the last decade, Overleaf is the proof that innovation does not compromise folk music?s timelessness and that the Grace Smith Trio will be one of the most promising bands to look out in future years.
