EP Review: The White Russian – You Are

14/03/202215/03/2022 Graeme Smith

The White Russian are a London-based acoustic folk ensemble who I first discovered for the blog at the end of last year through their atmospheric track Cancer Knee. I was so taken with their sound that when I saw the EP from which the track was taken was released, I knew I had to give it a listen. It’s called You Are.
