The Floe are: Sarah Springett – lead vocals, programming
Liz Townsend – keys, cello, vocals, programming
With a name evoking images of frozen landscapes and endless blue skies, Essex/Herts duo The Floe (Sarah Springett and Liz Townsend) produce music that encapsulates that stark beauty.
Both distinctive and compelling their songs soar with tales of love, loss, longing and hope.
In a live setting their simple yet cinematic piano-synth led performances are breathtakingly heartfelt and draw upon every experience that has led them to this point.
Their first album 'No Looking Back' was mixed by Grammy Award winner Simon Gogerly and released in 2010 to glowing reviews. Since then The Floe have toured the UK numerous times, including a nationwide series of in-store performances for Caffe Nero as Artist Of The Month, received airplay from Radio 2, played many live sessions for the BBC, had a track featured on BBC Three, supported Glenn Tilbrook, The Bad Shepherds, Midge Ure and Ultravox during the final dates of their European Tour and been awarded an Honourable Mention in The International Songwriting Competition (selected from 15,000 global entrants).
After one of the busiest and most successful years in The Floe's history, Sarah and Liz have returned to the studio and are currently working on new material with Sony ATV signed Producer/Writer James Earp (Diana Vickers, Alex Hepburn, Mel C...).
With new songs and sounds coming thick and fast and such exciting collaborations afoot their trajectory continues onwards and upwards. With so much passion and conviction and with ambitions as vast and unending as the landscapes that their name reflects, The Floe's evolution seems thankfully never ending.
