Smiling In The Dark

Rainbow Family is out on Fri Feb 7th 2025


Fields of green and yellow
Blossom pink and white
Warm scents on the breeze but I still lie awake at night
 
What I would give right now
to hop onto my bike
Whizz down to your garden for a beer, laugh and a bite
 
My longing heart is battered,
from the tears that tear its tatters,
Surely now what matters is how I plan to move on

For now Ill tramp this landscape,
Food for a lost soul
And pray that in the morning, I'll wake less alone. 

Doodoodoo
Doodoodoo…

Now I have met some comrades
and I have passed the time
with banjo, brass, guitar and voice, firepit and wine.
 
And I have met some hostile, less than friendly follk,
And every once in a while, you'll visit me I hope.

Doodoodoo,
Doodoodoo...

This is not my home (yet), I've not found the place,
I find myself still searching for my warm and tender space
Although theres much to cherish and things that I hold dear,
I miss my rainbow family, my gorgeous tribe so queer.

So for now Ill tramp the landscape,
Food for a lost soul
And pray that in the morning, I'll wake less alone
For now Ill tramp the landscape,
Food for a lost soul
And pray that in the morning, I'll wake less alone
I'll wake less alone
I'll wake less alone

Rainbow Family Radio Edit

Bristol and Gloucestershire’s own alt-folk agitators Dryadic are back with their boldest single yet — “Mansplain”, a no-holds-barred takedown of unsolicited opinions, overconfident egos, and beer-soaked patriarchy — all wrapped up in stomping fiddle hooks, lush harmonies, and a defiant singalong chorus you won’t forget. Out July 4th, this unapologetically queer anthem lands just in time for Pride celebrations across the UK and beyond.

Following the success of “Rainbow Family” — a breakout track that lit up BBC Introducing West and Orbit playlists, “Mansplain” sees Dryadic back in full firebrand mode. Inspired by those post-gig interactions we all wish we could walk away from, the track serves as both a vent and a victory cry. It’s a love letter to setting boundaries. A rallying call for femmes and queers everywhere who are done nodding politely through condescension. And yes — it’s funny as hell too.

Lead vocalist and lyricist Zora explains:

“It’s basically the soundtrack to that moment when a sweaty guy corners you after a show and starts lecturing you about your own art, politics, identity, and everything in between — without ever asking you a single question.”
From lines like “Self-assured, beer-fuelled ego put to the test by this womxn on your stage” to the cathartic chorus “Whoa, every time… please fuck off,” this is feminist folk that doesn’t whisper — it roars.

Dryadic continue to carve out a space that is fiercely inclusive, musically magnetic, and politically sharp. Known for bringing together celebration and protest in equal measure, the trio has played stages from Glastonbury’s Avalon Stage and Brighton Pride to the Hackney Empire, sharing bills with the likes of Grace Petrie, O’Hooley & Tidow, and Heather Peace.

“Mansplain” drops July 4th on all major platforms — just in time to be blasted from queer floats, festival fields, and headphones everywhere.

Because we’re done being polite.
