Cardiff/Stroud based Folk band Craven perform traditional ballads with crafted arrangements. They take influence for their soundworld from punk, electronic dance and classical chamber music.
Approaching the heavy themes of traditional folk - life, death, war and poverty - with irony and wry wit, and finding queer and contemporary ideas in old songs, and bringing out new meanings for new contexts.
Their debut release, “Baby Vs Crow´´ exemplifies this tongue in cheek attitude. A mixtape consisting of 6 traditional folk songs, it showcases their breadth of sound from the bright, punk-lead “Arthur McBride“, to the darker “Crow on the Cradle´´ with synth-like arpeggiation.
