MOJO Rising: Smoke Fairies
4:11 PM GMT 03/11/2008
Katherine Blamire and Jessica Davies, aka Smoke Fairies, only opted for their University History course in order to secure a year studying in New Orleans. It was there, during their stint playing the city’s bars and cafés, that the duo began to cross-pollinate the tenets of trad-folk and swamp blues that make up their cool, sultry sound.
Four years on, with Bryan Ferry and Richard Hawley's seal of approval now intact, Smoke Fairies have released their first single Living With Ghosts - a song awash with the wistful melancholy that has seen them pull in fans from far and wide. Blamire: “We see people absorbed as we play and surely that’s what they connect to in a song – the things they don’t go around saying every day.”
