Our Take

KINGS OF THE SOUTH SEAS' Franklin is a delightful romp through the rich musical landscape of England's south coast. The album weaves together traditional sea shanties with a modern twist, creating a sound that is both nostalgic and fresh. From the haunting harmonies of "Haul Away Joe" to the foot-stomping energy of "Greenland Whale Fisheries," KINGS OF THE SOUTH SEAS prove that they are more than just your average folk band.

The instrumentation on Franklin is top-notch, with the band effortlessly switching between acoustic guitars, concertinas, and even a hurdy-gurdy. Each song is a masterclass in storytelling, transporting the listener to a bygone era of seafaring adventures and salty sea dogs. The production is crisp and clear, allowing every instrument and vocal harmony to shine through.

But what truly sets KINGS OF THE SOUTH SEAS apart is their infectious energy and sense of fun. It's impossible not to tap your foot or clap your hands along to tracks like "Blood Red Roses" and "Bold Riley." This is music that demands to be heard live, with a pint of ale in hand and a twinkle in your eye.

In conclusion, Franklin is a rollicking good time from start to finish. KINGS OF THE SOUTH SEAS have crafted a truly unique album that pays homage to England's rich maritime history while also feeling fresh and exciting. So grab your nearest sailor's hat and prepare to set sail with this musical voyage. Bon voyage!
