"Just once in a while an album comes along that takes you to places you hadn’t realise existed. Arlet’s Clearing did this, and much more, for me."
 - Folk Radio UK (Johnny Whalley)

"organic talent and feeling that bursts through with each track...they make the kind of wonderful, stirring, instrumental, orchestral music that not just folk music, but music in general, is founded."
 - Thank Folk For That (Josh King)

Arlet are a diverse group of Kent-based musicians, whose music is found somewhere between the folk club and the chamber music hall.

Propelled by the restless creativity of accordionist and composer Aidan Shepherd, their sound brings together all the primary colours of the orchestra - strings, woodwind and brass. A founding musical inspiration is a love of the joyful melodicism and rhythmic intensity of British Folk, but rather than viewing folk traditions as artefacts to be revered, Arlet have drawn on folk idioms as a route to their own brand of carefully sculpted, richly harmonic and lusciously textured music.

Sounding sometimes like a chamber quintet letting its hair down and finding a curious groove circa 1973, sometimes like a session band in the corner of a rural pub suddenly slipping through a vortex into another musical dimension...

Stereo-Filth, who formed out of the ashes of Dundee band The Boston Tea Party (Jake Bugg and NME 'ones to watch 2013'), are reincarnated as a 3-piece Rock band with a hard-hitting, guitar-driven sound who focus on song writing as much as a great live performance.

Working away in semi-secrecy for the best part of a year, Sean McGouldrick, Bobby Anderson and Dale Easson have recorded and produced some brand-new material. The bands debut single can be heard on Soundcloud via the link below:

The band played their debut gig in June 2014 supporting the highly popular Edinburgh based band 'The Holy Ghosts' in Dundee to an impressive crowd and since then, have cemented a place in the vibrant Dundee music scene.
