Visions of Albion are a folk duo consisting of Daniel Ryan on guitar/ vocals and Samantha Shields on vocals. Formed in Liverpool in 2017 and taking inspiration from the likes of Fleet Foxes, Simon & Garfunkel, Leonard Cohen and Joni Mitchell -amongst many others- Visions of Albion's sound could be described as personal, haunting and mysterious; shedding a new but darker light on Folk music. Grounded in reality and refreshingly sober, Visions of Albion's intricate use of harmony coupled with Daniel Ryan's primal guitar style and Samantha Shields' brutally honest but vulnerable voice creates an atmosphere of despair and desperation. In contrast with their forlornness, Visions of Albion can also be upbeat and optimistic; the music giving an air of positivity and reassurance that adversity can be overcome. Still never straying far from the naked reality of life, Visions of Albion could be considered as giving a musical interpretation of both sides of the same coin; bluntly striking at the core of issues they tackle whilst also being able to pull us back up and dust us off. Simply put, Visions of Albion are a band for all seasons.
