Lisa Knapp and Gerry Diver are highly respected for their contributions to the folk genre. While honouring, and being highly influenced by, English and Irish traditions, they have managed to bring a unique and contemporary quality to their output. Knapp, celebrated for her “fearlessly original” work, and “one-man supergroup” Diver, renowned for his instrumentation and creative production, now deliver a stunning collection of nine songs in Hinterland.

Hinterland includes both instrumental tunes – such as the Monaghan Jig Set – and vocal pieces that explore nature and human experience. The result is a remarkably varied and powerfully original soundscape that weaves together folk horror, remembrance and the landscapes, both rural and urban, that inspire their art.
