Our Take
Our Take
MAWKIN CAUSLEY is back with their latest offering, The Awkward Recruit, and it's safe to say they haven't mellowed with age. This album is a whirlwind of energetic folk tunes that will have you tapping your feet and clapping your hands in no time.
From the opening track, "The Recruiting Sergeant," it's clear that MAWKIN CAUSLEY means business. The fiddle and accordion blend seamlessly with the pounding drums and driving guitar, creating a sound that is both traditional and modern at the same time.
The standout track on the album has to be "The Awkward Recruit." This song tells the story of a young man who joins the army, only to find himself in over his head. The lyrics are poignant and the melody is infectious, making it a track that will stick with you long after the album is over.
Overall, The Awkward Recruit is a triumph for MAWKIN CAUSLEY. The band's unique blend of folk and rock is on full display here, and their songwriting has never been stronger. If you're a fan of lively, toe-tapping music with a touch of humor, then this album is definitely worth a listen. Grab your pint, kick back, and enjoy the ride with MAWKIN CAUSLEY.
