Our Take

Ah, Alasdair Roberts, the Scottish troubadour extraordinaire, has gifted us with yet another gem in the form of "Spoils." This album is a delightful mishmash of traditional folk tunes and Roberts' own unique storytelling prowess, creating a tapestry of sound that is as enchanting as it is perplexing.

From the opening track "The Yarrow," we are transported to a mystical realm where ancient tales and modern musings collide with unexpected grace. Roberts' haunting vocals float over intricate guitar work and subtle flourishes of fiddle, creating a sense of otherworldly beauty that is both captivating and slightly disconcerting.

Tracks like "The Flyting o' Life and Death" and "Had I a Golden Thread" showcase Roberts' songwriting prowess, weaving intricate narratives that delve into the depths of the human experience with a gusto that is both refreshing and slightly unsettling. This is music that demands your attention, drawing you in with its subtle charms and refusing to let go until you have fully immersed yourself in its strange, wonderful world.

Overall, "Spoils" is a bewitching album that is sure to captivate fans of folk music and intrigue newcomers alike. Alasdair Roberts has once again proven himself to be a master of his craft, delivering a work of art that is equal parts whimsical and profound. Take a journey into the strange and wonderful world of Alasdair Roberts, and prepare to be dazzled by the sheer brilliance of "Spoils."
