'This Earthly Spell' by Karine Polwart
17 April 2008A new album by Karine Polwart (reviewed here in November 2005 and April 2006) is always a pleasure: I've been enjoying her recent CD of traditional songs, 'Fairest Floo'er', but the new collection of her own compositions, 'This Earthly Spell', is even better. Karine's thoughtful, poignant lyrics, distinctive voice, catchy tunes and lush vocal harmonies are a compelling mix. She creates an air of melancholy with a subtle hint of optimism - and then throws in a laid-back swing number ('The News') that could have been by Fairground Attraction.
