Snow Ghosts

Snow Ghosts

Snow Ghosts has been played on NTS in shows including The Wire Magazine Present Rewired, featured first on 16 January 2014. Songs played include Secret Garden (Matthew Herbert Wash It All Away Mix), Secret Garden (Richard Skelton Version) and The Hunted (Apocalypse Version).

Crafted from a shared interest of the odd folk nature of Britain and the resultant dark strangeness, Throwing Snow and Augustus Ghost pool their individual inspirations, ideas and styles as Snow Ghosts.

Throwing Snow, aka Ross Tones, first started working with Augustus Ghost, aka Hannah Cartwright, after she first arrived in England in 2008. Hannah comes from a songwriting background, having previously collaborated with Phaeleh as well as singing in the band Masakichi, while Ross possesses more electronic influences - his work as Throwing Snow has gained plaudits from all sides, manifested most recently through invitations to support Bonobo on his forthcoming tour, as well as Thom Yorke’s Atoms for Peace project. Together, the pair shared a mutual influence of the shadowy elements of folk and metal, and it is through these reference points that Snow Ghosts took shape.

They first found an outlet for their music through Black Acre Records in 2011 on the "Lost at Sea EP", and the pair have spent the subsequent two years compiling their debut album through short bursts of writing. Summer 2013 sees the release of the album "A Small Murmuration" on Houndstooth.
