Comprised of best friends Tom England and Oskar Porter, this London-based acoustic folk duo has created a collection that transcends mere music—it’s a heartfelt narrative that speaks to the soul.
Before we delve into the album, let’s highlight the enchanting track "Mother", a serene yet powerful composition that captures the essence of Burr Island’s musical prowess. With delicate vocals and intricate instrumentation, "Mother" invites listeners into a world of introspection and emotive storytelling.
Days Dreamt is a manifestation of a decade-long friendship steeped in creativity and musical exploration.
