About The Unthanks
One of the premier English folk groups of the early 21st century, the Unthanks -- the surname of siblings Rachel and Becky -- present a dynamic mix of old and new, trafficking in elements of traditional Northumbrian folk music, classical, jazz, and pop. The band emerged in 2004 under the name Rachel Unthank & the Winterset and released a pair of well-received albums before officially adopting the Unthanks moniker in 2009. Since then, the group have issued a string of acclaimed releases, including 2011's Last, 2015's Mount the Air, and 2022's Sorrows Away, as well as a popular series of idiosyncratic live recordings that have covered everyone from Robert Wyatt and Antony & the Johnsons to Molly Drake.
