A band built around the core duo of vocalist Lauren Kinsella and bassist Chris Hyson,

Nick Costley-White, and saxophonist
Josh Arcoleo. Their 2016 debut, simply entitled
Snowpoet, drew comparisons to artists such
Björk and
Ólöf Arnalds, while citing influences as diverse as
Baths,
Flying Lotus,
Joni Mitchell,
Keith Jarrett, and
Ravel. ~ Simon Spreyer
