Spotlight!: Meadowlark

Bristol based duo Kate McGill and Daniel Broadley are on to a winning formula. Having come together because they both longed a change of musical direction in their careers, they settled on a mix of folky guitar and piano interspersed with some lush ambient electronics. The subtle soundscape and McGill’s delicate vocals on tracks like ‘Fly’ and ‘Satellite’ result in a captivating and chilled-out mood. It’s like the musical equivalent of a deep and tranquil oasis glistening in the sun. It’s far too easy to get sucked into their simple and soothing songs and just escape the world for a short while. Having supported Amber Run and Rhodes, and having received plenty of well deserved support from the likes of BBC Introducing and Flying Vinyl, Meadowlark are certainly set to take off.

Fans of Oh Wonder, Gabrielle Aplin, Birdy and The Staves should check out their latest EP ‘Paraffin’.
