“With their golden voices, fertile soundworlds and evocative influences from across Europe, the Sheffield duo’s fifth album is admirably confrontational.” The Guardian, Folk Album Of The Month (Sept 2024)
After a decade releasing celebrated albums and touring across the world, The Rheingans Sisters return to St George’s to play new music from their critically acclaimed fifth album. The visionary duo’s new show is a sonic and aesthetic development of their live work so far, creating an even more immersive musical journey for their audience. The Rheingans Sisters’ new album Start Close In, was released in September 2024 to enthusiastic critical acclaim. Celebrated at #2 in The Guardian’s Top 10 Albums of 2024, “it’s clear that the Rheingans Sisters have made their boldest album yet”. MOJO Magazine gave the sisters “joyous” album #5 in their Top 10 Folk Albums of 2024 round up and Trad Folk described it as “experimental and brave and genuinely magical”.
Produced by New York based Adam Pietrykowski (whose genre-diverse work spans rock, contemporary classical and prog folk) the visionary duo’s new album is “wildly expressive; at the forefront of the recent upsurge in experimental, drone-led folk” (KLOF). The sisters’ new live show is an immersive and uplifting musical journey. Taking in baroque fiddle tunes and trance beats, metal-inspired arrangements of traditional ballads and improvisations with phone voicenotes, Rowan and Anna once again make music like painters; revealing in bold colours the next soaring chapter in their unmistakable brand of avant-garde trad, blending ancient song and universal stories with future imaginings, dystopias and dreams.
