We're getting deeper into rehearsals for the coming tour. Here's a sneak peak at one of the new songs: Songs from an Evil Wood 1/Polska efter Omas Per.
Mary Read mixes electronic sounds and beats with the mournful melodies of Nordic folk music. They take inspiration from dark ambient, EBM, traditional Swedish fiddle tunes and many other genres.
Currently, Mary Read is preparing to tour with their new project Dunsany Dreaming, where they combine poems by the early 20th century author Lord Dunsany with original compositions and Swedish folk melodies.
They can also be heard as guest artists on the upcoming album of Rozalind MacPhail, a Canadian flutist and electroacoustic performer, currently nominated for ECMA’s “electronic recording of the year”.
Are you interested in booking Mary Read for a venue or festival, or maybe even thinking about organizing a house concert? Drop us a line or give us a call - we'd love to hear from you!
