Artist Info: Alula Down

Alula Down is British weird folk duo Kate Gathercole and Mark Waters (both are members of Herefordshire's Weirdshire collective). The duo plays traditional folk and self-written songs using a minimal approach, sound collage, and semi-improvisation of voice and instruments made of wood and reeds.
