Dandelion Wine are an ethereal electro-folk band from Naarm/Melbourne, who combine medieval and folk instruments with electronic beats and waves of textured guitars, mixed with celestial vocals. Equally at home lulling audiences in a theatre or making them dance at outdoor festivals, the band have also travelled extensilvelly across Australia, Europe, UK, Japan, and more.
While the band have always flirted with medieval instruments and melodies, their 2023 album Hereafter features a more traditional medieval influence, albeit still with the band's idiosyncratic use of analogue synths and glitchy beats. Nestled amongst the lutes, cello, Persian frame drums and beats are medieval and Shakespearean lyrics along with melodies from medieval, Celtic and Greek/Byzantine sources.
Catch the majestic four piece performing live in Studio 5 for an intimate session, celebrating the 20th anniversary and last episode of Susi Lanagan's What The Folk on Tuesday February 6 from 9am.
