Our Take
In their latest album, The Unthanks pay tribute to two legendary artists, Robert Wyatt and Antony & the Johnsons, in a beautifully haunting and mesmerizing way. It's like being wrapped in a warm, comforting blanket while also feeling a chill down your spine. From the opening track, "Sea Song," The Unthanks transport listeners to a dreamlike state, with their ethereal vocals floating effortlessly over delicate instrumentation. The stripped-back arrangements allow for the raw emotion of the lyrics to shine through, capturing the heart-wrenching beauty of Wyatt and Antony's songwriting. Tracks like "Lullaby for Hamza" and "For Today I Am a Boy" showcase The Unthanks' incredible vocal range and ability to convey both vulnerability and strength in equal measure. The haunting harmonies and intricate melodies draw you in, leaving you captivated from start to finish. Overall, The Unthanks' tribute to these iconic artists is a masterpiece of delicate beauty and emotional depth. Their interpretation of Wyatt and Antony's songs is nothing short of breathtaking, and serves as a reminder of the power of music to transcend boundaries and touch the soul. This album is a must-listen for fans of folk and indie music alike, and a shining example of The Unthanks' exceptional talent and artistry.
