Alt-folk newcomers Dark And Twisties arrive fully formed. Their debut LP Ungrateful Women, reads less like an introduction and more like a statement. Intimate, layered, and quietly defiant.
Based in Swansea, the five-piece operate where traditional folk shading meets modern emotional clarity. Harmony does the heavy lifting — voices interlock, melodies move like shared memory. Understated, intentional, quietly assured.
Ungrateful Women holds independence and isolation, chosen quiet and lingering FOMO, joy and melancholy sharing the same breath.
Restrained arrangements carry real emotional weight — understated, unresolved, and deliberate.
Since emerging earlier this year, Dark And Twisties have built momentum quickly, earning early praise for their chemistry and intimate live presence.
Across tracks like This Time, The Lonely, Grace And Dignity, and the title cut Ungrateful Women, the band carve out a modern folk language that feels rooted yet restless — music for listeners drawn to the eerie, the human, and the quietly transcendent.
Ungrateful Women lands on digital, CD, and vinyl via independent release. Dark And Twisties avoid trend-chasing, opting instead to build something slower, deeper, and made to last.
