Our Take

The Unthanks' latest offering, "Sorrows Away," is like a breath of fresh air amidst a sea of bland music. This album is a sonic feast for the ears, with haunting vocals and intricate instrumentation that will leave you spellbound from start to finish.

From the melancholic opening track "Lost and Found" to the hauntingly beautiful "The Night is Over," The Unthanks take listeners on a journey through heartbreak, love, and everything in between. Their unique blend of folk and indie rock creates a sound that is both nostalgic and modern, making "Sorrows Away" a timeless masterpiece.

Lead singer Rachel Unthank's voice is the star of the show, with its ethereal quality and raw emotion drawing listeners in like a siren's call. The band's tight harmonies and impeccable musicianship only add to the allure, creating a rich tapestry of sound that is impossible to resist.

While some tracks may veer towards the melancholic side, there is a sense of hope and resilience that runs throughout the album. The Unthanks remind us that even in our darkest moments, there is always a glimmer of light waiting to guide us through.

Overall, "Sorrows Away" is a triumph for The Unthanks, showcasing their exceptional talent and unwavering creativity. This album is a true gem in a sea of mediocrity, and a must-listen for music lovers everywhere. So grab a cup of tea, sit back, and let The Unthanks sweep your sorrows away.
