History
Producer Ross Tones (aka Throwing Snow) and vocalist Hannah Cartwright (aka Augustus Ghost) first met and started collaborating in 2008, having a shared interest in British folklore and experimental electronic music.[2]
The first Snow Ghosts record, the Lost at Sea EP, was released through Black Acre Records in 2011.[3] Following this initial release, Tones and Cartwright spent the next two years compiling their debut album, A Small Murmuration, which was released on London nightclub Fabric's record label Houndstooth in 2013.[4][5]
In 2014, Tones and Cartwright joined forces with multi-instrumentalist Oliver Knowles, (aka The Keep), and Snow Ghosts became a trio.[6] The band's second album, A Wrecking, was released on Houndstooth in February 2015.[7]
In March 2015, Snow Ghosts embarked on a UK and Ireland tour with Portico, which saw them play in cities including London, Bristol, Manchester, and Dublin.
