Our Take

Lisa Knapp's latest offering, "Till April Is Dead - A Garland Of May," is a whimsical journey through the English countryside that will have you skipping through meadows in no time. This album is like a freshly brewed pot of Earl Grey tea on a rainy afternoon - comforting, familiar, and oh so British.

Knapp's ethereal vocals float effortlessly over a tapestry of traditional folk instruments, creating a sonic landscape that is both haunting and enchanting. From the haunting opener "The Horn Dance" to the rollicking closer "Bonny May," each track on this album is a gem in its own right.

The standout track has to be "Staines Morris," a stripped-back ballad that showcases Knapp's delicate vocals and mastery of the folk tradition. It's a hauntingly beautiful rendition that will leave you yearning for more.

With "Till April Is Dead - A Garland Of May," Lisa Knapp has solidified her status as one of the UK's most exciting folk artists. Her ability to breathe new life into traditional folk songs is nothing short of magical, and this album is a testament to her talent and creativity.

So pour yourself a cuppa, grab a cozy blanket, and let Lisa Knapp whisk you away on a musical journey through the English countryside. You won't regret it.
