David Powell and The Speekers

Sonic psych-folk, spoken word, and ambient mythmaking.

David Powell and the Speekers blend dream pop and psych-folk into ambient soundscapes, using spoken word and experimental storytelling to explore ancestry, identity, and transformation. Their sound draws comparisons to Laurie Anderson, The Microphones, and Nick Cave. Touch Wood is their most intimate and mythic release to date.

With glowing reviews describing it as “hypnotic,” “surreal,” and “universally resonant,” this is David Powell and the Speekers at their most experimental—and most accessible.
