Smoke Fairies

Smoke Fairies is a British folk and rock duo made up of singers and guitarists Katherine Blamire and Jessica Davies. Formed in Chichester in 2006 by the two schoolmates, they made their first North American tour between Louisiana and Canada, where they opened for Bryan Ferry, before recording their first singles for the Music for Heroes label. In 2009, following the release of the Frozen Heart EP, a tour with Richard Hawley and a single released by Jack White's label were followed by the Ghosts compilation and an original debut album, Through Low Light and Trees (2010). The duo then signed with the V2 label for Blood Speaks (2012), followed by Full Time Hobby for Smoke Fairies (2014) and Wild Winter (2014), a collection of songs linked to the Christmas period. Mothballed for several years, the duo resumed their activities and collaborated with producer Phil Ek to record the album Darkness Brings the Wonders Home, released in 2020. The more electric collection was followed almost four years later by the return to folk-rock roots of the self-produced Carried in Sound (2023).
