Gentle Stranger are a London based trio, composed of Tom Hardwick-Allan, Alex McKenzie, and Joshua Barfoot. They are ‘a band who are not so much without a genre, but operating at a level where the very idea of genre is anathema; they make music purely as is required’ (The Quietus). Existing across both music and performance, their most recent release was 2023’s Inner Winter. They have collaborated with artists including Agnes Scherer and Adam Christensen.
