A follow up of sorts to 2006’s criminally underrated My Secret is My Silence, Idlewild frontman Roddy Woomble once again teams up with british folk superstar and uberproducer John McCusker for more understated melancholy folk. Added to the mix here are cameo’s from Radiohead’s Phil Selway and Teenage Fanclub’s Norman Blake, as well as young folk upstart Kris Drever. To say that the trio make up Scotland’s best new folk talent is possibly stretching it a bit far (and doing a disservice to the likes of James Yorkston and King Creosote), but as a statement it isn’t too wide of the mark.
