A rather lovely, ethereal debut album called Awaken. from a young, Manchester-based singer-songwriter. Released yesterday. It's reminiscent of late Sixties, early Seventies Folk. Vashti Bunyan comes to mind as does Britt Eklund in Whicker Man. But the production is silky and modern and all the while Caoilfhionn's voice floats above proceedings. It's remarkably assured considering this is her first album.
Thirteen songs in all, each of them well-judged, pastoral and frankly just beautiful. Rose is trying something very interesting. It's familiar but fresh at the same time. Give it a listen!
