Jacken Elswyth is a London-based folk musician, banjo player, and instrument builder. She is focused on exploring traditional tunes, developing extrapolations on folk styles and techniques, and investigating drone, ambience, and improvisation within and beyond traditional music.
She organises the Betwixt & Between tape series as one avenue of these investigations, and plays dark drone folk with Shovel Dance Collective, free folk with Sullow, and freely improvised music in other contexts.
Here she presents pieces for solo banjo with drones, taken from Banjo with the Sound of its Own Making ("foregrounds the talents of one of the instrument’s most exciting young practitioners and makers"- The Guardian) and Six Static Scenes ("beautiful and raw, augmented by scratches, tension and twang" - The Guardian; "an exercise in controlled chaos and hectic minimalism, a modernist interpretation of an antiquated form" - Folk Radio).

David Weir (Folk Radio) said, “For all the bleak balladry we hear, hers feels the most distinctly uneasy. What’s more, the honesty in her stage presence, patter and lyrics is refreshing. Behind that minor key quiver sits an inspiring fearlessness.” He later adds, “It’s clear why Lankum’s Ian Lynch has endorsed her on his Fire Draw Near podcast, the drone of her shruti box and her raw, twisted take on traditional music making her an exciting outlier within the genre.”
