Folklore (Label)

Atmospheric, shadowy and quietly fierce — The August List blend alt-country with desert rock and gothic Americana, conjuring something both cinematic and deeply human. Think slow-burning tension, big melodies, and the kind of songs that sound best just as the sun’s going down.

Main support comes from Dead Slow Hoot, Sheffield’s brooding indie outfit whose songs balance vulnerability with intensity, weaving intricate guitar lines and soaring dynamics into something both dark and cathartic.

Opening the night is Mock Deer, the project of SE London’s Ricky Damiani. Somewhere between alt-folk, art rock and confessional songwriting, his music draws you in with sharp lyrics, unexpected turns and a raw emotional pull. A perfect match for fans of honesty, intimacy and a touch of the strange.

“... this is Zuma territory, and I’m loving it."

\- KLOF Magazine

“The August List plot a perfect course to the emotional heart of each song, and we’re

delighted to have been brought along for the ride."

\- Joyzine

“...like a combination of the Howling Bells, Maria McKee, Leila Moss and Emmylou

Harris on the desert’s edge.”

\- Monolith Cocktail

Rapt crafts atmospheric folk that balances ambient textures with raw, lyrical honesty. Each release has pushed in bold new directions, but his work always invites close listening — subtle shifts and delicate storytelling reveal themselves more with every return.

FARE offers vulnerable, ethereal performances built from reverb-drenched guitar loops and intimate lyricism. Her open, effortless style has drawn comparisons to artists like Grouper, Squirrel Flower, and Adrianne Lenker.
