About

 Josephine Illingworth is a musician who likes to paint pictures with sound. A long-distance hiker and chronic wanderer, she constructs her songs as journeys; weaving stark poetry, folklore, glimmering guitar and field recordings into a soundscape that feels almost tactile. Fascinated by nature and religion, her songwriting is built of her own personal mythology; memories of her suburban childhood and stories from the mountains she wandered to as she grew, twisted through the vivid and sometimes surreal lens of her lyricism. At its centre, her music is anchored by a voice that can fill cathedrals; at once shivering, delicate and sometimes terrifying, renowned for an ability to wail and keen.
