It’s ethereal yet precise, technical yet visceral. Formed nearly a decade ago by harpist Màiri Chaimbeul, fiddler Elise Boeur, and guitarist Adam Iredale-Gray, now with three albums and a JUNO nomination under their belt, Aerialists have staked their claim on the leading edge of the neo-folk world.
