Rising Folk: Iona Lane

Iona Lane’s beautifully subtle songsmithery is underpinned by a deep awe and wonder for the natural world – the poetic depth in her lyrics and music becomes a natural force of its own.

Her long-awaited debut album Hallival is inspired by by natural landscapes, scientific discoveries, equality, human relationships and the supernatural, all tied together by a strong sense of place and a love for being in wild places.

“An intriguing debut – her sweet voice recalls Emilíana Torrini, while her lyrics and musical arrangements crackle with wide-eyed curiosity.” – Jude Rogers, The Guardian
