]]> Following the recent announcement of new album The Fell for release on February 24 through Houndstooth, Snow Ghosts have shared a second pre-release single from the record.

Where previous track ‘Curse’ showed the more electronic side of the record, new single ‘Buried’ is an earthy folk song where the simplicity of the dulcimer and bodhrán drum give way to Hannah Cartwright’s ghostly delicate, foreboding vocals. She describes the track as “a threnody to all the stories and lives lost to the landscape.”

The Fell sees the trio of Hannah Cartwright (Augustus Ghost, Masakichi), Ross Tones (Throwing Snow) and Oli Knowles (The Keep, Sex Swing) return with a collection of old folk songs that were never written – an album that conjures images of animals and ancient tales experienced within a future landscape. Ancestral marks imprint the endless terrain of The Fell and their songlines still sing.
 
They share the album’s first single and accompanying visual, entitled ‘Curse’ – a violent storm of wrath; a song that explores the folklore of shapeshifting women and highlights historic misogyny that still exists.
 
Vocalist Hannah Cartwright comments: “’Curse’ reflects the folkloric trope of witch to hare metamorphosis. It is the furious revenge of the hunted hare, exacted upon her tormentor.”
