About Me
Magicfolk is a UK esoteric psych-folk band, producing its own blend of folk, celtic and prog-rock with rich vocal harmonies and an assortment of instruments, in songs with mythological, mystic and pagan leanings.
“Like the bright sun burning through the morning fog, Magicfolk come bearing tradition, vision, passion and mysticism” (Exposé Magazine)
Their material touches upon a range of esoteric inspirations, including those found in Egyptian, Greek, Celtic, Hermetic, Shamanic, Wiccan, Pagan and other traditions.
“Genuinely something new for fans of esoteric folk, their lyrics sing of folklore and magic, evoking the mystery within the music" (Woven Wheat Whispers)
The music is grounded in acoustic instrumentation and layered vocals, which then often develop into rock, jazz and psychedelic improvisations. They also have gentle songs which take you to other, more restful places.
“Prog rock, celtic tunes and tight vocal harmony, spiked with prickly electric guitar. If you like Fairport Convention, Jethro Tull and Jefferson Airplane, you won’t be disappointed.” (Pagan Dawn Magazine)
Last year they launched their debut album which is available from their website or on iTunes. They hope to start on their second album later this year.
"A raft of magical spells... a silver blade wrapped in lace" (Folkwords)
“Entirely convincing… memorable and beautifully arranged” (Radio Centraal Belgium)
