The husband and wife duo Adam and Paula Pickering are true independents and over the last ten years they have managed to build up a sizeable following, releasing six albums on their own label. The multi-instrumentalists are not confined by any traditional band set-ups, and on their seventh album they spread their wings for a truly cinematic experience, which draws on folk, indie, electronic and classical crossover – all done with a melodic heart.
