Our NEWEST release:
NEW: In your hands
Our newest song is a joyful celebration of loving friendship.
Poppy Seed
An ostensibly joyful tune, it can also be interpreted more darkly. This is a beautifully atmospheric song combining a haunting vocal line interspersed with evocative harp and violin melodies.

Sweetheart Tree
A bitter sweet song about human interaction with nature and the damage it can cause.
Tie me up
One of our most popular tracks, with a catchy chorus. It is a song about an addictive relationship.
About april blood
April Blood is a creative partnership based in Kent, England. Defying simple categorisation, April Blood's sound could be described as indie-folk with a touch of alt-country. While strongly guitar-based, we experiment with different instruments including the harp, dulcimer and harmonium, which are woven through many of the songs. Our lyrics are infused with references to the natural world and draw on the rich stream of human experience.
The lyrics of our released songs can be found here
April Blood's unique style comes from the eclectic influences that have coloured the lives and experiences of Paul Kelly and Tracy Vaughan Gough. Individually, Tracy and Paul have lived overseas, travelling and exploring different cultures. Now making music together, they are merging their diverse interests and musical inspirations into a a harmonious blend under the banner of April Blood
We are always writing new music and at the moment we are concentrating on recording new songs. We’re releasing tracks regularly so follow us on streaming sites to get them first.
