"Your tears will speak of love and better times"


"FAMILY TREE" - Meadowlark

At the end of last year, musician Kate McGill, whose 150,000+ following largely came from the Youtube covers she posted when she was a teenager, announced that she wouldn't be making music as a solo act any longer. This March, however, she emerged with Meadowlark, her new band compromised of herself, Daniel Broadley and Carl Jones.

"Family Tree" first demo of theirs is gorgeously dark, nostalgic and so very minimal, nothing but the piano, sinking into minor chords in the verses, a gently plucked guitar and soft, swift percussion; it's a new and original take on folk-pop, yet miles away from the Ben Howards and the Mumfords. Kate McGill's voice is as sweet and youthful as it is filled with the angst and regret that these lyrics spark.

Meadowlark recently supposted Bastille at one of their London shows and are currently working on their first EP, more details can be found on their website.
