It has been over a decade since Smoke Fairies entered a recording studio to record their debut single Living with Ghosts; since then school friends Jessica Davies and Katherine Blamire have carved out an incredible body of work.

Having self-released several early singles the band were first introduced to a worldwide audience with their 7-inch Gastown/River Song, released as a Third Man Records Blue Series, which Jack White produced and played drums on. The band has toured the world with the likes of White himself, Laura Marling, Bryan Ferry, Seasick Steve, The Dead Weather, Richard Hawley, Dawes, Blitzen Trapper and Public Service Broadcasting after collaborating on the single Valentina.

Their debut album proper Through Low Light and Trees received rave reviews, MOJO giving it four stars and describing the record as ‘heartfelt and sensual… poised and elegant’. The album went on to be named one of American Songwriter’s Top 50 albums of 2011. On the band’s follow-up release Blood Speaks Pitchfork commented that Blamire and Davies ‘don’t trade vocal duties so much as appear to sing from the same body, their voices nearly indistinguishable, shifting between smoky moans and toe-curling trills,’ their eponymously titled third album was released in 2014 of which For Folks Sake said ‘Smoke Fairies are attempting to creatively push themselves into and beyond the ether’.
