The reinterpreted traditional folk songs that make up Cold Blows the Rain are shaped by the land and the weather. Wrapped in mist and drizzle, the crawling drone of low heavy clouds on flat-top moors. The sound of the dark Calder Valley floor and sun starved hills around Todmorden, West Yorkshire in the North of England.
“Bridget Hayden and the Apparitions start the year with traditional songs as heavy as the sodden moors at midnight. They unfurl at a glacial pace, with analogue synths and delicate banjos buoying up Hayden’s deep, measured voice.” The Guardian 'Folk Album of the Month'
“Trad folk songs, hauntingly interpreted.... Hayden has pulled off one of the greatest renditions of them all.” Uncut 'Album of the Month'
“Bridget Hayden’s folk music is the kind that makes you stop and pay attention.” The Quietus
