A Different Thread

A Different Thread

“One road is ending, another road begins, come on let’s do it over again” - A Different Thread In their newest album, A Different Thread weaves a sonic tapestry of hope. Born from the serendipitous meeting of Alicia Best (US) and Robert Jackson (UK) busking on the cobbled streets of Ireland, their harmonies are at the core of their musical connection. Honed across a dozen countries and almost a decade on the road, the raw honesty of their lived experience (navigating visas, vanlife, and love across oceans) runs deep in their songwriting - they deliver unforgettable live performances that have solidified their reputation as artists on the rise. Folk Radio UK hailed them as "warm, deep songwriters that have drank from the well of 20th century tradition“ and their unique blend of Americana has landed them support slots with The Milk Carton Kids and Jody Stephens (Big Star). Over Again their third album (September 2nd) is a roadmap to a brighter future, written during a period of personal transformation, marked by their arrival stateside and a solar eclipse. Recording began in their tiny-home studio in the pines of North Carolina, later refined in Sylvan Esso’s studio Betty’s (The Mountain Goats, Watchhouse), and finished at Alma Vale in the UK (Phantom Limb/Yola, Elles Bailey)
