False Lights are a six piece electric folk group formed in 2014 by Jim Moray and Sam Carter, two of British folk’s most celebrated and forward looking performers. Melding traditional English ballads with alt-rock, electronica and shapenote hymn tunes, their meteoric rise saw them headline festivals before even releasing an album.
While steadily building a reputation as a ‘must see’ live act, their eventual record ‘Salvor’ was received with five star reviews and nominated for Best Album at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards 2016. False Lights return in summer 2017 with their second album ‘Harmonograph’ and festival and tour dates which will see them broaden their sound palate yet again.
