Following the release of their latest album Awake, Montreal-based trio Folly and The Hunter announce a UK tour which brings them to the University of Chester on Saturday, October 1.

Awake was released in March via Outside Music/Proper and sees the band exploring internal matters through infectious optimism and beautifully crafted melodies.

Formed in Montréal, the band is comprised of Nick Vallee from Vancouver, Phil Creamer from Montréal and Laurie Torres, a multi-instrumentalist, francophone Quebec native of Haitian/Spanish heritage.

The LP was written while the band were touring across North America, at shows like SXSW, supporting fellow Montréalers Half Moon Run.

The album showcases the band’s ability to produce perfectly crafted atmospheric folk pop, with Vallee’s vocals soaring effortlessly through.
