Our Take

Let's dive right into the latest release from folk powerhouse The Unthanks, "Diversions." This album is a bewitching blend of traditional folk melodies and hauntingly beautiful vocal harmonies that will transport you to another world faster than you can say "Bob Dylan." With their signature ethereal sound and impeccable musicianship, The Unthanks have crafted an album that is at once timeless and utterly captivating. From the mesmerizing opener "Magpie," with its lush instrumentation and soaring vocals, to the hauntingly intimate closer "Gan to the Kye," each track on "Diversions" is a work of art in its own right. The band's ability to evoke such emotion and depth with their music is truly awe-inspiring, and it's no wonder they're considered one of the most exciting acts in folk music today. But it's not all serious business with The Unthanks - there's a playful, quirky side to their music that shines through on tracks like "Hawthorn," with its jaunty piano and infectious melody. This album is a true feast for the ears, with each listen revealing new layers of beauty and complexity. In conclusion, "Diversions" is a triumph for The Unthanks, showcasing their immense talent and creativity in a way that is both captivating and utterly delightful. So grab your best pair of headphones, pour yourself a cup of tea, and let yourself be swept away by the enchanting sounds of The Unthanks. You won't regret it.
