Joshua Arnold and Therine

Joshua Arnold and Therine

Joshua Arnold and Therine are a folk duo from the North West consisting of hurdy gurdy player Joshua Arnold and vocalist Therine. They perform thudding Playford and Breton tunes alongside droning, instrumentally eclectic arrangements of songs in the British folk canon showcasing themes of the dark and macabre. Led by Therine’s soaring vocals and accompanied by dense loops of hurdy gurdy, upright bass, harmonium, drums and DIY instrument drones; “Their brooding, sinister drone-folk definitely casts a spell” – Folking.com.

“Their minimalist approach sets themselves apart from the scene. Raw and unvarnished. Off-kilter and affecting.” – The Quietus
