The Magpies - Undertow

The Magpies second album 'Undertow' was written and arranged collaboratively, its music founded on a deeply felt friendship. The album explores themes of womanhood and solidarity, encapsulated beautifully in Dario Fisher's cover art.

'Undertow' emerged from the challenges thrown at us by the pandemic in 2020 and a line-up change in 2021. The band resurfaced stronger than ever, joined by banjo virtuoso and singer-songwriter Kate Griffin. The new material reflects the sound of the live show and the fresh line-up that has gone down so well with audiences this summer. The songs reflect upon change and the passing of time, balancing reflectiveness with a forward-looking optimism that hopes to leave listeners with a sense of the positivity and friendship that went into the album's making.
