Swansea’s emerging alt-folk band Dark & Twisties has just unveiled their debut single, The Wild, a hauntingly beautiful track that invites listeners into a realm where folk storytelling meets the untamed power of nature. Comprised of members Sarah Birch, Kate Ronconi, Sarah Passmore, Danny Kilbride, and Huw Rees, the band has quickly drawn attention with their evocative harmonies, intricate musicianship, and the enchanting atmospheres they conjure.
The Wild resonates with a sense of nature in upheaval, mirroring the strength and unpredictability of the natural world through its sweeping acoustic arrangements. Lush harmonies build and recede like waves in a storm, embodying both the beauty and turbulence of the wilderness. Vocalist Kate Ronconi describes the song as “a call to acknowledge the power of nature and the fragility of our existence."
Since their recent debut on the scene, Dark & Twisties have drawed on folk traditions while imbuing their music with an otherworldly touch. Released on October 31, 2024, The Wild is already gaining traction on streaming platforms and promises to set the stage for Dark & Twisties’ rise within the alt-folk community. Their unique sound, layered with atmospheric depth and resonant themes, is perfect for those drawn to the mysterious and the ethereal.
