Felice Brothers Undress
Lal and Mike Waterson Bright Phoebus
It's all about the folk this week with two significant new entries - one from modern day, one from days gone by.
Firstly The Unthanks make a welcome return with their Mount The Air album which won BBC Folk Album Of The Year in 2016.
I can barely get over how good this album is. It's beautiful chamber pieces are based around gentle piano supplemented by strings and horns. And then there are the sisters' voices too. Completely unique. Sounding both modern and ancient.
Bright Phoebus on the other hand sounds just ancient. It's a very unusual record which is much admired as an underground classic in folk (and wider rock and pop actually) circles. It is dark and haunting (save for a couple of more upbeat country rock numbers and the whimsical opening song Rubber Band).
