Lunatraktors at the Invisible Folk Club

Lunatraktors are Carli Jefferson and Clair Le Couteur. Influenced by flamenco, post-punk and trip hop, their 'broken folk' sound strips trad folk back to rhythm and voice. Combining Carli's percussive and choreographic talents with trans folk singer Clair's four octave vocal range and original compositions, they conjure up folk cabaret sounds and visions. The duo are friendly, energetic, talented, articulate and funny. We hear their perspective on traditional folk music, working with museums, performance art and the rigs of the times. There's never a dull moment. Shortly before this podcast was launched a 2021 review of the year in Mojo magazine rated Lunatraktors' The Missing Star at No2 in their Folk album category. That was one place below the legend that is Peggy Seeger, and one place above the force of nature that is Rhiannon Giddens. What fabulous company to be in!
