A reflective, maudlin, mixture of folk, analogue synth and old-school indie. ‘Blind Faith’ is Gemma Hayes’ first album in 10 years, following a hiatus to spend time with her two children. The cover shows a figure […]

Interview: Nora Kelly holds space for the quirky in outlaw country music

August 24, 2026 1
