Andrew King is an English folk singer, neofolk musician and traditionalist, presenting renditions of traditional songs and ballads, both a capella and with minimalist instrumentation, sometimes with an influence from post-industrial music.
His initial creative work was in the visual arts. After many years of experimentation, he dates his mature work from the first of his Emblematic paintings in 1991. In 1994 he started making documentary recordings of vernacular and traditional songs, music, and customs. He moved to London in 1995 to further this work and the illustrative compositions that he was doing for a number of the post-industrial / neofolk bands of the time (such as L’Orchestre Noir, Current 93, Ernte, Sol Invictus, etc), and to complement this made his first attempts at his own versions of traditional song the following year.
His first album The Bitter Harvest was issued and distributed by World Serpent in 1998 but he now sees it as an apprentice work. He sees his second album The Amfortas Wound (issued by Athanor in 2003) as his first proper album.
He is a resident singer at London’s Musical Traditions Club and was employed by the British Library between 2001-2005, for most of that time as an archivist and cataloguer of British traditional culture.
