After earning widespread praise for the delicate, piano-led beauty of her 2024 debut Dead Sea, Annie Rew Shaw returns with a bold new direction. Swapping keys for guitar, Austel’s latest material leans into a more intimate, folk-tinged sound... raw, personal, and deeply atmospheric, while still carrying the spacious, cinematic quality that defines her work.

With a journey that’s taken her from festival stages like Glastonbury to national radio support from BBC 6 Music and BBC Introducing, Austel has quietly built a reputation as one of the UK’s most compelling emerging voices.
