Following the success of their debut EP, alternative folk collective Snowpoet have returned with their new single Mermaid, which is taken from their new album due out later this month.

The song is textured by vocalist Lauren Kinsella’s soft mixture of speech, song, whispers and breath. As well as being inspired by the natural world, the composition reflects a wide range of influences from across the artistic spectrum, including Bon Iver, Sylvia Plath and Chopin.
