Goblin Band “speak to the political tumult internationally and at home from their queer lens”

“Folk’s bawdy universality and collective cheer is a principle well understood by London’s Goblin Band. A trad four-piece connected to the arcane without ever lapsing into novelty act, Goblin Band remind exactly that, once upon a time, when much of the Roud Folk Song Index was gifted to the eternal heritage, such ditties and ballads were reflecting the times there and then. So do Goblin Band, penning numbers that speak to the political tumult internationally and at home from their queer lens.”
– Far Out Magazine

Rosin The Beau is taken from Goblin Band’s new album A Loaf of Wax (Live from MOTH Club), out November 14th on Broadside Hacks Recordings.
