Elanor Moss + Sophie Jamieson
"Our appetites well and truly whetted from years of her impeccable support slots, it’s a dream to see Elanor Moss take top billing with a debut album in tow! Spectral, fingerpicked melodies and crystalline vocals cloaked in pastoral melancholy – this is standout contemporary indie folk with the weight of the greats. Catch her before she ascends IYL: Adrienne Lenker, Jessica Pratt, Joan Baez, Vashti Bunyan."

Elanor Moss - The Knife, The Needle Tour 2026
Off the back of tours with the likes of Foxwarren (Andy Shauf), Flyte, and Christian Lee Hutson, Elanor Moss releases debut album The Knife, The Needle via Merge Records. Recorded live to tape over the course of two days, the album evokes the starkness of artists such as Sibylle Baier, and the poetic sensibilities of psych-folk greats before her. A strange and shadowy record of quiet epiphanies.
“Oh and the way that it feels To know you
Oh and the way it reveals
I don’t know you”
So begins “The Way That It Feels,” the concluding track of Elanor Moss’ debut full-length album The Knife, The Needle, out August 21, 2026 on Merge Records. In two couplets, sung over birdsong and Moss’ classical guitar, she manages to capture an entire universe created in the bond between two people. The couplets mirror each other and hang, like a veil, over the rest of the song. Regardless of time, intimacy, love, tenderness, and the way those things can change a person and a relationship, there is, she asserts, an immutable fact to these things: that whatever she learns from them, there will always be something unknowable just beyond.

Sophie Jamieson is a London-based singer-songwriter known for delivering uncomfortably honest songs direct from the heart. Her career began on the London new-folk scene and spans initial early success, a breakdown, a withdrawal from music for many years followed by a comeback which culminated with her debut album, Choosing, being released on Bella Union, 10 years later. Her second LP, I Still Want to Share, was released in January 2025. A record of flourishing ambition, intricate song-writing, an expanded heart and a deepened voice.
