Gnoss

Gnoss is a neotraditional Scottish folk band.

History
The band was formed in 2015 by Moodie and Rorie, both from Orkney. Sinclair and Baxter joined soon after. The band has a tradition of naming tracks after relatives to celebrate significant birthdays.

Musical style
Robert McMillen, profiling the band for The Irish News after the release of their third album, wrote that "their signature sound is a rich tapestry of acoustic layers and textures, mixing outstanding musicianship with captivating original songs".

Billy Rough, reviewing their second album for Folk Radio UK, wrote, "Characterised by a tight, cool mood, superbly balanced instrumental harmonies and some rather fetching melodies, the boys have captured a sound dipped in honey."
