The track is a slow-burning confession of invisible devotion and unreciprocated hope.

 

About Ernest Aines

Ernest Aines, nominated for Australian Artist of the Year at the Folk Alliance Awards in both 2023 and 2024, is an award-winning Melbourne-based indie-folk singer-songwriter whose soulful voice, intricate fingerpicking, and emotive storytelling have drawn comparisons to the likes of Ray LaMontagne, Bon Iver and Nick Drake, while Americana UK likened him to Paul Simon and Jeff Buckley. 

Critical acclaim for his album 'Spiral Bound' solidified his status as a luminary in folk music, earning praise from critics for its lyricism and creativity. Ernest has played renowned stages, including the Folk Alliance International (FAI) and a special tribute show for The Library of Congress, where his performances left lasting impressions. Armed with only a guitar and a stomp box, he is a master of the stage.

Ernest's three recent UK tours boasted sold-out venues and rave reviews, affirming his reputation as a captivating live performer. Americana UK praised his music for its delicate balance between introspection and exuberance, and a standing ovation in Liverpool led to a coveted BBC invitation to play live. Additionally, Ernest performed at the huge Cambridge Folk Festival, where he was quickly booked to play for the next season of Celtic Connections in Glasgow.
