One of the songs, Lost My Mindis a response to the world-shrinking changes engendered by the first lockdown. Live music, around which we were trying to build a life around, had disappeared overnight, leaving us with very little mooring.”"Wistful", BBC Radio 6 Music“such a beautiful track... her voice is so beautifully haunting” Barstool music UK“A delight ... theirs is an emotional and intense music that needs concentrationand the audience obliges, hanging onto and appreciating every word, as shown by the prolonged applause between songs."

Hannah on the influences of the album “Last winter, my mumsent over a poem she’d written. Unearthing was about digging through the dirt, sifting through the troubles of years, and planting flowers. We talk a lot about time, pace and the seasonal nature of creativity; things need time to lie fallow, take love, time and patience, and often grow when you’re not looking. From being signed to the label and noticing the momentum that Rainy Day Woman were getting in mid-2021 as the world opened up, it felt like finally Fritillaries had been born.”
