'Writing Down Things To Say' is the third album by Nottingham's orchestral pop songsmiths LORNA. Lorna tours folk, old-time country, chamber pop, post-rock, and even avant-lounge But the genius of Lorna lies in the masterful (husband and wife) songwriting team of Mark Rolfe and Sharon Cohen-Rolfe, cross-pollinating their songs with traces of all these musical genres - deftly bringing pedal steel, string quartets, harmonicas, vintage keyboards, and woodwind and brass arrangements into the fold - not to mention their sumptuous vocal harmonies, yielding a wistfulness and exquisiteness once realized by Scotland's romantic perfectionists The Blue Nile. The album includes a poignant stark interpretation of the Sebadoh song 'Think (Let Tomorrow Bee)'.
