Scottish artist and composer Kate Young crafts rich, song-led string arrangements inspired by folklore, nature, and traditional plant lore. Her latest album, Umbelliferæ, explores the stories and uses of wildflowers across the UK, creating a deeply immersive experience—both in sound and live performance—akin to a sensorial journey through a botanical garden.

Praised by luminaries such as Brian Eno (“amazing stuff”), Guy Garvey (“extraordinary”), and Sian Eleri (“stunning”), Kate’s work blends folk traditions with innovative composition, offering a truly unique sonic landscape.
