Our Take

The Furrow Collective's latest offering, "Fathoms," is like a breath of fresh air in a world overrun by plastic pop and soulless EDM beats. This folk supergroup, consisting of four powerhouse musicians – Rachel Newton, Lucy Farrell, Emily Portman, and Alasdair Roberts – effortlessly blend haunting vocals with intricate instrumentals to create a sound that is as captivating as it is enchanting.
From the opening track, "Swimming in the Longest River," with its hypnotic harmonies and mesmerising melodies, to the hauntingly beautiful "The Cruel Mother," each song on "Fathoms" showcases the raw talent and sheer musical prowess of The Furrow Collective. The way their voices intertwine and dance around each other is truly something to behold, leaving listeners spellbound from start to finish.
But don't be fooled by the album's delicate exterior – there is a darkness lurking beneath the surface, with tracks like "Banks of Mossy Lea" and "Chuir M'Athair Mise dhan Taigh Charraideach" delving into themes of loss, longing, and sorrow. This juxtaposition of light and shadow only serves to enhance the album's beauty, making it a truly immersive listening experience.
In conclusion, "Fathoms" is a masterful work of art that showcases The Furrow Collective at the top of their game. With its ethereal vocals, intricate arrangements, and haunting lyrics, this album is a must-listen for any folk music enthusiast. So grab a cup of tea, settle down by the fire, and let The Furrow Collective sweep you away on a musical journey like no other.
