This collection represents a proper follow-up to the Unthanks sisters' 2017 album
Mount the Air. The Tyne & Wear folk act's intervening years have featured projects interpreting the work of Molly Drake, Emily Bronte, and Lillian Bilocca, as well as a soundtrack to the 2019 TV reboot of Worzel Gummidge. Here, longtime collaborator Adrian McNally provides lavish production on tastefully arranged ensemble recordings of a set largely comprising traditional music from the British Isles, alongside a handful of original compositions. ~ James Wilkinson
