Our Take

In a musical landscape oversaturated with bland offerings and cookie-cutter pop hits, Show of Hands' latest album, "High Germany - 900 Miles To Bremen," is a breath of fresh air. This folk duo, comprised of Steve Knightley and Phil Beer, have been flying under the mainstream radar for far too long, but this album is sure to catapult them into the spotlight they deserve.

From the moment the first track, "High Germany," starts playing, you can't help but be captivated by Knightley and Beer's unparalleled chemistry. Their harmonies are tight, their instrumentation is pristine, and their storytelling is simply captivating. It's a rare treat to find an album that effortlessly blends traditional folk elements with modern sensibilities, but Show of Hands have nailed it with "900 Miles To Bremen."

Throughout the album, the duo takes listeners on a musical journey through time and space, from haunting ballads to foot-stomping jigs. Standout tracks include the haunting "Burnham Green" and the rollicking "Halsway Parade." Each song is a testament to Knightley and Beer's immense talent and dedication to their craft.

In conclusion, "High Germany - 900 Miles To Bremen" is a triumph for Show of Hands. It's an album that demands to be listened to, cherished, and shared with friends. So do yourself a favour and give it a spin - you won't be disappointed.
