In our recent interview with Scions, the nine-piece Canadian ensemble shared how To Cry Out In The Wilderness emerged from a fierce love for music, collaboration, and a deep-seated connection to the…

Hozier’s opening night at Perth’s RAC Arena felt like a private gig, just with 15,000 people who all knew every word. He kicked things off with the beautiful De Selby (Part 1), setting a goosebump-inducing vibe that stuck around all night. His set was simple, with no big distractions — just Hozier, his gloriously talented band, and that voice that could probably knock down walls if he wanted. It was a perfect start to his Australian tour.

So, I just wrapped up Drova: Forsaken Kin on PlayStation 5, and yeah, we need to talk about this one. This isn’t your classic “follow the glowing marker and save the world” kind of RPG. Nope. You’re practically yanked by the collar and, with a sly “Good luck”, thrown into a dark, unfriendly forest where everything is sizing you up as potential lunch.

The utter legend, Kate Bush, has returned with Little Shrew (Snowflake), a short anti-war film that draws attention to the impact of conflict on children. Inspired by the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, Bush’s new project features an edited version of her song Snowflake from 50 Words for Snow and tells the story of a tiny shrew navigating a devastated world. In a blog post, Bush shared, “I wanted to make an anti-war animation… I hoped to draw attention to the children caught up in war.”

This deeply personal project reimagines Snowflake, a song sung by her son when he was a child, and brings it into a new context. While the original track is over seven minutes long, Bush chose to edit it down to fit the animation, sharing, “I was concerned that the song might lose something by being edited so intensely, but actually, it’s held up pretty well.”

Scions are pretty much the definition of everything we love here at Unruly Folk. Their genre-bending sound, mixing folk, doom, jazz, and whatever else strikes their fancy, doesn’t fit into any neat category, and that’s exactly the way they like it. We had a chat with Michael Cloud Duguay (MCD) and Cormac Culkeen about their creative process, why queerness and collaboration are at the heart of it, their solar-powered recording sessions, and their upcoming album, To Cry Out In The Wilderness, which is out on November 8th. Here’s what they had to say.
