Album artwork for Laws Of Motion by Karine Polwart

Multi-award winning songwriter and musician, theatre maker and published writer Karine Polwart - six-time winner at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, including 2018 Folk Singer of The Year - with her new album. 'Laws Of Motion' was recorded alongside long-term collaborators Inge Thomson (accordion, percussion, synths & vocals) and brother Steven Polwart (guitars & vocals).

Polwart's 2017 album 'A Pocket Of Wind Resistance' used the migratory habits of geese to crack open universally human societal & ecological issues. Across 'Laws of Motion' Polwart continues to coalesce the familial and the familiar alongside the unsettling and the unknown, driven as ever by her gift for empathy and accessibility. Subject matter as disparate as Trump, WW2 & holocaust survivors are drawn together by the laws of the album's title alongside the experiences of migrants and allegorical folk & children's stories.
