Our Take

From the dingy pubs of East London emerges Stick in the Wheel, a band that's as gritty as they come. Their latest album, "From Here," is a raw and unapologetic dive into the heart of traditional folk music.

The opening track, "White Copper Alley," sets the tone with haunting vocals and minimalist instrumentation that's as chilling as a London fog. Lead singer Nicola Kearey's voice cuts through the mix like a dagger, her husky tones conveying a sense of longing and loss that's both palpable and haunting.

As the album progresses, Stick in the Wheel delve deeper into the dark, seedy underbelly of British folklore. Tracks like "The Cutty Wren" and "Roving Blade" paint a picture of a world filled with rogues and ruffians, where danger lurks around every corner.

But it's not all doom and gloom on "From Here." Tracks like "Over Again" and "Trees" offer moments of respite, with lush harmonies and gentle melodies that provide a brief reprieve from the album's more intense moments.

In the end, Stick in the Wheel's "From Here" is a captivating journey through the shadows of British folk music. It's a record that's as gritty and authentic as the band themselves, and one that's sure to leave a lasting impression on anyone who dares to take the plunge.
