More Info
Pavey Ark are a cinematic indie-folk band from Hull in the UK. The band will be playing an exclusive in-store performance at Rough Trade (Liverpool) for Record Store Day 2026
Atmospheric vocals, strings and horns glide over finger-picked guitar, melodic bass and complex percussion. The result is a beautiful orchestral-folk sound that evades immediate comparison. Upon further listening, the band’s wide range of influences start to reveal themselves – from the laid back ’60s and ’70s folk of Jackson C. Frank and Love, through to Nick Drake and Radiohead.
Known for their sublime live shows, Pavey Ark played SXSW Texas in 2025, the Glastonbury Acoustic Stage 2022 and closed Cambridge Folk Festival (Stage 3) in 2023. Huge achievement for an independent act. Their second album, More Time, More Speed, was mixed by LA based producer Paul Butler (front man of English indie band The Bees). Paul has worked with Micheal Kiwanuka, Andrew Bird and The Teskey Brothers. The band also worked with composer and producer Adrian McNally (The Unthanks) who led the live string quartet studio session and co-produced / mixed three songs on the album.
More Time, More Speed explores the theme of time. How our individual and collective experiences seem to stretch, contract and sometimes completely warp our perception of time. The future, the past, time wasted, time cherished, love, loss, new beginnings and the end of days. The album was almost entirely self recorded in a converted farm building near Hull in East Yorkshire. The album artwork, a joyous snapshot captured above a rape seed field in full flower next to the studio.
The album has received wonderful reviews including a double page feature in Guitarist Magazine (Feb 2026). Their debut album, Close Your Eyes and Think of Nothing received excellent reviews from UNCUT, Record Collector, Folk Radio and BBC Radio 6 Music airplay. It was chosen by the BBC as one of their picks for National Album Day in 2022.
