Fate by Piperlain

A heartfelt track, ‘Fate’ combines indie folk and folktronica with progressive pop/rock sounds, tribal percussion, and Middle Eastern influences. The track draws upon alternative folk/rock/pop, world music and percussive elements with the use of instruments including the djembe and 12-string guitar.

“Fate is about a new relationship. Something special is forming between two people, but one must depart on a trip. The song is about the journey of excitement and contemplation of a romantic future, as well as the anxiety and desperation of waiting for someone special to return. Then, realising that when they do come back, that they have a special connection and can start their journey together. The track uses sustained guitar created with an EBow to create a mystical, ambient sound that acts as a counterpart to the lead vocal and also compliments the sustained vocals in the bridge section, which was written with the ocean in mind, to represent the waves of anticipation” Rebecca Voorn-Knight.

Recorded in The Blue Mountains, surrounded by world heritage national park, ‘Fate’ continues the style of embracing a more organic sound. The result is an enchanting song with mystical and ambient guitar and rhythmic percussive elements combined with lofty, honest vocals.

Piperlain combines the sounds of acoustic, alternative pop/folk/rock and electronica with emotive, passionate vocals.

Formed by singer/songwriters Benjamin Knight and Rebecca Voorn-Knight, the Piperlain sound has been compared to a contemporary version of The Cranberries and The Corrs with similarities to Sarah Blasko and Josh Pyke, described “emotive” with “layers of depth” by Sony.
