Much has happened to Acoustic Ladyland since we last heard from them in December 2006 when the widely acclaimed Skinny Grin was released. Now, pulling their own gem kart in the shape of the Strong & Wrong imprint,
Pete Wareham - Acoustic Ladylands catalyst, presents their latest work.
After a period of reassessment and change in band personnel, this fresh incarnation sets the bar even higher and has arguably achieved their most potent and lucid album to date. Acoustic Ladylands new fire can be heard from the very first bars and this powerful quartet have delivered the best jazz album of the year.
