Following You

Siobhan McCrudden’s voice has been described as ‘fragile, pure and hugely distinctive’. Cardiff-based singer songwriter, Siobhan crafts songs of intensity and sweetness, recounting personal stories whilst reflecting a vivid fascination with dark folk tales and superstitions. Raised in London to parents with Scottish and Irish roots, her vocal leanings reflect early memories of folk musicians at family gatherings and a strong desire to connect with these emotive beginnings.
ICARUS GIRL, is a hauntingly nostalgic and elemental set of alluring narratives and exquisitely melancholic songs that defy any one particular genre and entrance the listener through their spell-binding beauty. The album is carefully arranged and produced by acclaimed artrock musician GRICE who has infused the songs with his subtle yet distinctive instrumentation.
The first single ‘The Mermaid in Your Glass’, was on the top 10 fresh favourites on Fresh On The Net (BBC6 Music) and has had airplay on BBC Radio Wales (Adam Walton, Bethan Elfyn), Radio Cardiff, newsoundwales, The Folk Pilot, PhonicFM, Blackout Radio, Lonely Oak Radio, RivieraFM, SourceFM, Symfozone Radio and several Spotify playlists. 'Following You' features Siobhan McCrudden (acoustic guitar, vocals), GRICE (keys, programming, vocals) & Al Swainger (bass).
'Siobhan McCrudden really does have a voice of great intensity and beauty' - NewSoundWales ‘Absolutely beautiful, just stunning, the voice is something else’ Adam Walton, BBCRadio Wales ‘music from the morning mist at the edge of a wood. There is a clear debt in Siobhan's sound to early Joni Mitchell albums, and unconsciously mirroring the small clubs and venues where Mitchell honed her craft, her first live performances were in the coffee house circuit of New York. There is also a definite familiarity with late sixties British folk bands such as Fairport Convention and Pentangle in her cultural hinterland’ - From the Margins Her voice, rich and evocative, is ably accompanied and produced by art-rocker GRICE’ - Freshonthenet - Fresh Faves, BBC6 Music ‘When music of this quality finds its way to you, it's a day to mark in your diary’ - RivieraFM
