Acclaimed folk artist You Are Wolf (‘English avant-folk at its finest’ Observer) announces the release their third album, hare // hunter // moth // ghost on November 3rd 2023 on Firecrest Records. You Are Wolf is the alt-folk project of award-winning British composer and writer Kerry Andrew, presenting folk songs with unusual, bold arrangements influenced by electronica, contemporary classical and alt-pop. You Are Wolf’s first album for five years is based on themes of transformation, inspired by Kerry’s own experiences of recent debilitating chronic illness, and transition to a non-binary identity. The album’s songs, made up of traditional and folklore-inspired originals, include metamorphoses between the natural/supernatural worlds, human/animal, dark/light, and gender binaries. A celebration of nature and fluidity, there are queer ghosts, vengeful stepdaughters, seductive foxes and witches’ spells, told in an utterly modern and individual style that draws on their contemporary classical background, as well as drone, electronica and alt-pop. The album features collaborations with three of the UK and Ireland’s most eminent nature writers, Robert Macfarlane (writing a new lyric for Kerry in ‘Blue Men’), activist/author of The Book of Trespass Nick Hayes and Kerri Ni Dochartaigh, author of the Wainwright Prize-shortlisted Thin Places. ‘Herne/Abbots Bromley Horn Dance’ also features English folk star Sam Lee as a guest vocal.
