Interview with Spell Songs
We had the pleasure of interviewing Spell Songs over Zoom video!
Spell Songs is a folk supergroup that celebrates nature’s beauty through song, while encouraging listeners to take action for the environment. The ensemble shares a new video for their song "Moth," which is featured on the recently released 'Let The Light In' album (12.10).
Filmed by Simon Whitehead during the recording of 'Let The Light In' at Real World Studios in the UK, the "Moth" video showcases the gorgeous artwork of Jackie Morris layered over intimate scenes of moths in their natural habitat, inspiring admiration for creatures that are often overlooked.
"We grew up with Elephant Hawkmoths in our back garden, and I remember the ‘oobits’ (Scots for caterpillar) cocooning themselves in our porch one year before emerging mossy green, raspberry pink and beautiful," says Spell Songs singer Karine Polwart. "Truth be told, they intrigued and terrified me in equal measure as a wee girl. I harbor to this day a near-panic response to moths and butterflies in confined spaces, but we need to learn to love and value the creatures we fear and disregard, as much as all the rest, and to notice their absence too. So, let’s call this a moth mantra for banishing fear and conjuring delight."
Spell Songs is a group of renowned musicians hand-picked by best-selling author Robert Macfarlane and award-winning artist Jackie Morris. The music they create is inspired by Macfarlane and Morris' books 'The Lost Words' and 'The Lost Spells' which were written as a response to nature words being removed from the english dictionary. Spell Songs released its ‘Let The Light In’ album on December 10th. Since then, the album reached No. 1 on Amazon’s Modern Folk Best Sellers chart, No. 4 on the Folk & Songwriter Best Sellers chart, and earned a 5/5 star review from The Guardian as well as praise from Folk Alley, No Depression and others.
