Josienne Clarke and Ben Walker are a critically acclaimed folk duo known for their captivating performances and exquisite songwriting. With their unique blend of traditional folk influences and contemporary storytelling, they have carved out a distinct sound that sets them apart from their peers.

Having worked together since 2010, Josienne Clarke's hauntingly beautiful vocals perfectly complement Ben Walker's intricate guitar playing. Their music is characterized by heartfelt lyrics, delicate melodies, and rich harmonies that create an emotional connection with the listener.

Influenced by artists such as Kitty Macfarlane, Bella Hardy, Karine Polwart, and many others*, Josienne Clarke and Ben Walker have gained a loyal following in the folk music scene. Their live performances are renowned for their intimacy and authenticity, leaving audiences spellbound.

Rough Trade is a multinational label that was started by Geoff Travis in 1976 as a London record-shop. It quickly grew into an independent label and distributor, collaborating with notable labels such as 4AD, Factory Records, and One Little Indian. The label's catalogue numbering system for singles/EPs included prefixes like RT### and RTT###CD for different formats. Albums were numbered sequentially as ROUGH### with extensions for different formats.In the early 1990s, Rough Trade faced financial difficulties after expanding into the US market. The US branch was shut down and the German branch ended up in the Zomba Music Group. One Little Indian provided financing and took over the label in the UK, retaining ownership of key releases like A.R. Kane albums. Geoff Travis eventually regained control of Rough Trade around 1999–2000 and re-launched it alongside Tugboat Records.

British duo Josienne Clarke and Ben Walker have risen to star status lately on the English acoustic scene, earning last year's Best Duo award from the BBC Folk Awards and across-the- board praise for two self-released albums, most recently 'Nothing Can Bring Back The Hour', with its lush single 'Silverline'. While The Guardian anointed them "chamber folk" (they certainly cut their teeth in that thriving part of the UK music scene), Clarke is an unusually compelling singer, sharing more in common with Sandy Denny, Gillian Welch, or even Nina Nastasia and Laura Marling, than your usual staid folk artist. Walker is a prodigiously talented guitarist and arranger and the two of them are engaging and often funny in a live setting where, in addition to their own songs, they choose covers brilliantly, from Denny, to Jackson C Frank, to Nina Simone, to death-obsessed traditional ballads. Clarke and Walker Rough Trade debut album brings bigger, more modern arrangements and production to their beautifully-wrought songs and Clarke's tremendous voice. LP - Housed in Gatefold Sleeve.
