About
Smote is the project of multi instrumentalist Daniel Foggin, and it started out as a solo venture before turning into a proper live band. The sound pulls old folk traditions into heavy drone, thick psychedelia and hypnotic repetition. Think Earth and Om wandering into some ancient pagan ritual. Foggin works as a gardener by day, and that, along with local folklore and the natural world, feeds straight into the music. Songs From The Free House is a good place to hear it: roaring amps, ghostly vocals and dark electronics all pile up into something that feels both primeval and slightly alien. The band has played Roadburn and Le Guess Who?, which tells you the kind of slow, building, wall of sound territory they work in.
