New album announced
Outside Time comes two years after new folk trio Tarren’s critically acclaimed debut Revel, an album that established their unique sound and quickly gained them a loyal following from acoustic music lovers. Outside Time sees the band develop this sound, weaving personal themes into music that explores the meaning of home and the joys of togetherness, belonging and community.

Spiral Earth
New single and autumn tour
One of the personal themes Tarren wished to explore was the space that folk inhabits in today’s world and consider where they stood as a band with a non-binary member. In asking the question “do modern notions of gender variance have a place in folk narratives”, the trio were awarded a bursary from the English Folk Dance and Song Society (EFDSS) to explore gender variance in English traditional song.

Revel (Album Review)
The sounds of fiddle and viola, cittern and English concertina, and accordion and hurdy gurdy have rarely sounded better, nor as much fun, as they do here – a testament to the talents of the trio and a confident and welcome signifier that English folk music is in very safe hands.

Revel (album review)
'A mini folk supergroup'!
...there’s foot-stompery at play here, the likes of which I’ve not heard since the mighty three-piece, Faustus, took a trip to Grimsby.

revel (album review)
Tarren’s music feels traditional, but also fresh and original. It’s joyful, but with deep sensitivity. For me, Revel is an album that reveals itself slowly. Such is the quality of the musicianship and the complexity of the arrangements, that I noticed something new with each listening. My first thought was that this is primarily for established folk enthusiasts, but I found a freshness that deserves to have wider appeal.
