Our Take

Hark! What ethereal melodies doth float upon the frosty air? 'Tis none other than Paul Mosley and his merry band of minstrels, The Red Meat Orchestra, delivering unto us their latest opus, "Wintertide". A veritable feast for the ears, this album is a masterclass in musical storytelling, weaving intricate tales of love, loss, and longing with a deft touch and a twinkle in the eye.

From the haunting opener "Snowfall Serenade", with its delicate piano and ethereal vocals, to the rollicking folk-rock of "Icicle Waltz", Mosley and his cohorts take us on a whirlwind journey through the winter landscape, painting vivid pictures with their lush arrangements and evocative lyrics. The orchestration is rich and full-bodied, with strings, horns, and woodwinds adding depth and colour to Mosley's already-robust songwriting.

But fear not, dear listener, for this is no dreary dirge of seasonal ennui! With cheeky wit and a generous helping of whimsy, Mosley injects each track with a healthy dose of humour and irreverence, ensuring that "Wintertide" never strays too far into the realm of twee. Indeed, tracks like "The Snowman's Lament" and "Mince Pie Blues" are as likely to elicit a chuckle as they are a sigh of melancholy.

In conclusion, "Wintertide" is a delight from start to finish, a musical snow globe that captures the magic and mischief of the season in equal measure. Raise a glass of mulled wine, crank up the stereo, and let Paul Mosley and The Red Meat Orchestra warm the cockles of your heart this winter. Verdict: 8.5/10, a frosty masterpiece.
