Our Take

Andrew Cronshaw's latest album, "The Great Dark Water," is a mystical journey through the depths of folk music. This seasoned musician showcases his incredible talent and creativity with a collection of haunting melodies and intricate instrumentation.

From the opening track, "Ensemble Unnamed," Cronshaw transports listeners to a world of ancient folklore and ethereal beauty. His unique blend of traditional instruments and electronic sounds creates a mesmerizing sonic landscape that captivates from start to finish.

Tracks like "The Great Silkie" and "The Sea King" showcase Cronshaw's ability to weave intricate melodies with poetic lyrics, drawing listeners into a captivating narrative that is both haunting and enchanting.

But it's not all serious introspection on this album. Tracks like "Dance of Sulieman" inject a sense of playfulness and whimsy, proving that Cronshaw is not afraid to let his quirky personality shine through in his music.

Overall, "The Great Dark Water" is a masterpiece of modern folk music that will appeal to fans of traditional folk as well as those looking for something new and innovative. Andrew Cronshaw has once again proven himself to be a true master of his craft, delivering an album that is both timeless and contemporary in its sound.
