Ron Hogan It feels like there’s two tones here, splitting the album right down the middle…or maybe, more precisely, that the first two tracks set the tone as they introduce us to the raven’s voice, and then with “The White Raven” the lore takes full flight, becoming just a touch lighter and airier but still very much akin to what came before it, Favorite track: The White Raven.

about

"Cannell's primal sounds make the distant past seem curiously present." The Wire April 2024

RAVENLORE is the fifth release in the new ‘Year of Lore’ series of 12 EPs by internationally acclaimed composer and performer Laura Cannell. Every month 
throughout 2024, Laura creates a new release of music 
to reflect real and imagined ‘Lores’.

"It was only a matter of time until my spirit animal made an appearance. Ravens feature in the name of the village I grew up in, they made a brief appearance in my 2022 album 'Antiphony of the Trees', I wrote a piece for them in my debut solo album in 2014 "Quick Sparrows Over the Black Earth" (Hraefn Hroc), and they were the title of my duo album from 2012 with the fabulous harpist Rhodri Davies 'Feathered Swing of the Raven' a live recorded and improvised album.

But now here we are, Ravenlore embraces the low tones of Raven vocalisations and was improvised and recorded live in St Andrews Church in Raveningham, Norfolk."

Laura Cannell May 2024

ABOUT THE THE SERIES so far...
Ravenlore (May)
Mountainlore (April)
Riverlore (March)
Earthlore (February)
Sealore (January).

The stories and folklore of people and places seem to find their way in to Cannell’s music, so she leans further in to draw them out of the earth, the sea and the landscape and to give a voice to the uncanny and the unseen.

Following the release of her latest solo album ‘Midwinter Processionals’ in December 2023 Laura has recently appeared as a guest on BBC Radio 3’s ‘This Classical Life’, she was featured on BBC Radio 6Music’s Scene Sounds, was a guest on the popular folklore podcast ‘Folklands’. One of her compositions ‘The Gatherers’ was re-imagined and performed in a sold out performance at the London Coliseum in a concert curated by broadcaster Elizabeth Alker (BBC Radio 3) and the composer Max Richter. This month also saw the World Premiere of a new commission written for The Marian Consort - 8 part vocal ensemble called “For the Plants that Bind Us”.
