The Sprigs

The exploratory folk project of Rory Salter, who has released some of the most engaging albums of the last few years under the aliases Malvern Brume and Lone Capture Library as well as his name, and who co-runs label Infant Tree with artist Ben Victor Waggett, who will play as a member of the 3-piece live band alongside Ben Murphy. 

Rather than succumbing to a romanticised dewy-eyed nostalgia for an imagined British folkloric tradition, The Sprigs create thoroughly convincing expressions of how it can feel to be human: their music is ramshackle and sublunary – in some places it is disquieting – but there are fleeting moments of profound joy. The feeling of being alone in the woods shivering as the light dwindles may be conjured, and so could the ruddy-faced merriment of being at a pub lock-in with old friends.
