New Single and Tour for Blackheart

• 24th Feb 2012

Blackheart release their new single Everything You Are at the end of March via Madrigal Records. They will also play a number of live dates across Scotland in March.

In just three years, pioneering British arthouse folk duo Blackheart have achieved much. An incredibly hardworking outfit, playing over 400 gigs here in the UK and Ireland , together with two successful headlining tours of Australia and New Zealand.

Their rise began when the track ‘Unlike Water’ was used for the Moben Kitchens TV commercial and they then went onto have Radio 2 Spotlight Song of the Day twice, followed by a No.9 position on the US Tower folk chart. Their music and sound defy categorisation – combining the lemon and honey voice of Chrissy Mostyn with spellbinding acoustic instrumentation creating a unique blend of intelligent acoustic rock. Their highly personal songs are laced with piercingly sharp observations, beautifully crafted lyrics and powerfully driven melodies which, prompted Australia’s Western Star to comment that they “take their audience from uplifting to heartbreaking in a single song”

The third BLACKHEART album ‘Songs From A Satellite’, from which the single ‘Everything You Are’ is taken, is scheduled for release in Summer 2012.

Tour dates are:

March 2 – CONTIN Old School Hall
March 3 – KINLOCHEWE Village Hall
March 4 – PORTMAHOMACK Carnegie Hall
March 7 – GLENLIVET Public Hall
March 9 – GLASGOW Blackfriars Basement
March – 10 GLASGOW St Silas New Church Hall
