Flitcraft by Flitcraft
Flitcraft is an indie-folk band revolving around songwriters, Jessica Røki Kilroy and Emmanouil Famellos. The two met while Kilroy was on tour in Greece in 2010. The project began in 2002 when Famellos produced Mark Eitzel's album The Ugly American and Mark was introduced to many songs from Famellos's repertoire. After frequent travels to San Francisco, the idea of reworking some of these tracks for the US market was born.
Since then, Famellos and Kilroy have modified the original songs, working with Mark Eitzel (American Music Club), Tanya Donelly (Throwing Muses, Belly, The Breeders). The songs found their match in Kilroy's earthbound and ethereal voice.
Flitcraft's debut is a ten track concept album of love, loss and redemption. It consists of seven of Emmanouil's reworked tracks, two new songs and two William Blake poems set to music.
The album was recorded in various studios, rooms and cabins from the US to Athens, Greece and represents some of the finest singing and songwriting of our era.
