Sound an Echo

• Folk
• Neo-Trad

In Sound an Echo, Rachael Kilgour & Sara Pajunen create and perform modern, minimalist arrangements of old songs that have survived the test of time. Partners in both their personal and musical lives, Kilgour and Pajunen’s collaborative work is inventive, compelling and assuringly intimate.

Kilgour is an award-winning songwriter whose sincere and lyric-driven work (‘a heartfelt slice of indie folk’ [Billboard]) has been heard at Lincoln Center and The Sundance Film Festival. A classically-trained violinist studying contemporary improvisation, Pajunen is a sound artist, composer and an acclaimed progressive practitioner of Nordic folk music with “extra elusive appeal…” (fRoots).

Sound an Echo is interested in bringing new life to the old and remembering how to sing together again. Their debut album will be released in early 2020.
