Info
Wales born, Brighton-based instrumentalist Gwenifer Raymond is a champion of the finger-picked guitar. She has drawn international attention for her repurposing of Mississippi blues and John Fahey’s intricate Americana to embody her roots in rural South Wales and her interests in folk horror and the avant garde, inventing a form dubbed Welsh Primitive.
The release of Gwenifer Raymond’s third studio album Last Night I Heard the Dog Star Bark in September 2025 via Canadian label We Are Busy Bodies has seen international recognition and opportunities, including a Tiny Desk concert, a KEXP session, events including Primavera Sound and the Newport Folk Festival, and tours with Geese, The Tallest Man On Earth and dates with Mitski at venues like the Royal Albert Hall.
Newly signed to Fat Possum, the next 12 months include debut music for the label and reissues of her first two albums, Strange Lights Over Garth Mountain (2020, Tompkins Square), a Welsh Music Prize nominee, and You Were Never Much of a Dancer (2018, Tompkins Square).
