MAY is a double-LP collection of recordings made between 2020–2023 by Arianne Churchman & Benedict Drew, whose ongoing series channels, inhabits and transmogrifies the vast corpus of traditional English folksong celebrating the most fertile of months. An auditory tapestry, MAY employs at its base a flank of analog synthesizers, field recordings and Churchman’s layered vocals, each combining to form a beautifully dizzy sonic collage that often spirals out across long durations into hypnotic rhythms and jubilant melodies.

Limited to 350 copies on black vinyl pressed by Softwax in Philadelphia.

All music and lyrics traditional, arranged and with additional lyrics by Arianne Churchman & Benedict Drew.
