Our Take

Ah, the Unthanks are back at it again with their latest offering, "Lines - Part Two: World War One." This album is like a time machine, whisking you back to the harrowing times of the Great War with haunting melodies and poignant lyrics.

The Unthanks have truly outdone themselves with this album, creating a sonic landscape that is both beautiful and devastating. Each song is a powerful narrative, transporting you to the trenches and battlefields of World War One. You can almost smell the gunpowder and feel the fear in the air.

From the stirring opener "Requiem for a Soldier" to the haunting ballad "The White Cliffs of Dover," the Unthanks take you on a journey through the heartache and loss of war. The vocals are ethereal, the instrumentation is delicate yet powerful, and the overall atmosphere is one of melancholic beauty.

But don't be fooled by the sombre subject matter, there are moments of lightness and hope sprinkled throughout the album. Tracks like "We Will Remember Them" and "In Flanders Fields" offer glimpses of resilience and courage in the face of adversity.

Overall, "Lines - Part Two: World War One" is a masterpiece of storytelling and musical artistry. The Unthanks have once again proven why they are one of the most innovative and captivating acts in folk music today. This album is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates profound, thought-provoking music that will stay with you long after the final note fades away.
