The Southern Fold - One More Time (Static Roots Sessions 2025)

A hushed, heart-bruised duet from Kilkenny/Dublin’s The Southern Fold, “One More Time” leans into the band’s alt-folk / gothic country side - two voices circling the same heartbreak, looking for one last chance.

ABOUT “ONE MORE TIME”
With “One More Time”, The Southern Fold strip things back to the bare essentials: two voices, one plea. Emlyn Holden and Madeleine Leclézio trade lines like two people standing on opposite sides of the same goodbye, their harmonies rising over a slow-burning band groove. It’s tender, haunted and quietly defiant - the sound of asking for one more shot when you know how much it might cost.

ABOUT THE SOUTHERN FOLD
Formed by Kilkenny native Emlyn Holden, The Southern Fold blend alt-folk, Americana, country, blues and a touch of gospel into a darkly glowing roots sound that has carried them from Ireland across the UK and Europe. Their records and live shows have drawn praise for gothic storytelling, sweet/rough vocal harmonies and a slow-burn intensity that lingers long after the last note. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
