Mythic folk storytelling with surreal symbolism — dreamlike hymns of exile, love, and transformation

Biography

They Fled at Sunrise emerges from the liminal space between dream and waking, myth and memory, creating folk music that feels both ancient and otherworldly. Their sound is built on the foundation of haunting dual vocals that intertwine like smoke, telling stories that blur the boundaries between personal narrative and collective mythology. Drawing from folk traditions across cultures, They Fled at Sunrise weaves together acoustic guitars, ethereal strings, and hypnotic percussion to create soundscapes that feel like half-remembered dreams. Their lyrics are dense with surreal symbolism — birds that speak in forgotten languages, lovers who turn into rivers, exiles who carry their homes in their hearts. Each song is a journey through landscapes both internal and mythical, exploring themes of displacement, transformation, and the search for belonging in a world that constantly shifts beneath our feet. The dual vocals create a conversation between past and present, self and other, the one who flees and the one who remains. Their music doesn't just tell stories; it creates ritual spaces where listeners can encounter their own myths, their own transformations, their own sunrises. In the tradition of great folk storytellers, They Fled at Sunrise reminds us that the most profound truths often come wrapped in metaphor and melody.
