Tom Yates

**Tom Yates** brings a cozy campfire vibe meets late-night poetry reading to modern folk, blending fingerpicked acoustics with literary flair. This British artist stitches together raw storytelling and experimental touches, whether he’s remastering older gems like *Song of the Shimmering Way* or reciting Poe’s *The Black Cat* over eerie instrumentals. His recent work – like the dual-speed daydream *Bye Bye Bohemia* or the raw, cycling metaphor *the pedalling tom yates* – feels handmade, leaning into lo-fi textures and nostalgic covers (shoutout to his *It’s Been a While / Mary of the Morning* mashup). Yates’ music thrives in the cracks between folk tradition and playful weirdness, perfect for listeners who want their coffee black and their playlists sprinkled with cobwebs.
