FOLK ROOTS, PUNK FIRE & SONIC ALCHEMY
Estelle Mey weaves voice and hurdy-gurdy into a collision of sound, blending folk’s earthy
soul, punk’s raw fire, and the textures of experimental electronics.
Her music moves through primal rhythms and fragile tones, sometimes venturing into
ancient tongues or subtle sonic experiments like translating plant signals into sound.
Elemental, immersive, and fiercely alive.
​
Born in Ardèche, France, Estelle's musical journey began in Iceland, immersed in raw,
powerful sounds. Now based in Kent, UK, she channels the fierce energy of punk while
her music pulses with earthy, instinctive textures such as hand drums and primal
instruments. Solo or with a band, her live performance is a visceral, unfiltered, and
powerful experience.
​
Calling to fans of Eivør, Heilung, Warduna, Björk, Nine Inch Nails, and Sepultura.
'So punky, I just like that old school raw punk, I'm all about it! "
- Alyx Holcombe, BBC RADIO 1

"Part an echo of ancient woodlands, part the roar of the industrial landscape, it is a song out of time, something set apart from any music chronology you might be familiar with."'
'' Like the cry of the first woman, the call of the wild, and the howling at the moon, “Snake” goes beyond being merely music and instead seems to talk to that primeval part of us that the modern world never quite tamed.''
