Someone else I'm not really that familair with. I've heard the odd song but it's good to listen to a full lengther to get the bigger picture. And it's always good to get the bigger picture. It's kind of hard to concentrate right now as Brian is swearing at boxes and sighing. I shall persevere! On this 6 track album Lisa will take you on a folk laden journey through mystical woods full of ample greenery and magical pixies which look a bit like the Rice Krispies elvess/gnomes/ fairies whatever they are. She's got a lovely voice and over the very traditional slightly psychey folk music you've effectively got yourself a bit of a treat here. The whole sherbang is lovely. Fans of Bridget St. John, Sandy Denny and Vashti Bunyan as well as more contemporary folks like Espers, Sharron Kraus will be shtting out of the window with folk excitement. Excellent!

Brand new album from this bewitching Swedish folk siren, the follow up to last years critically acclaimed debut "When This Was The Future" (5* The Times, 4* RocknReel, 4* Record Collector, 3* Mojo). The new album is filled with delicious and bewitching watery woodland folk hymnals, eloquent yet eerie. The harp has been given more space, the violin plays a greater role, the twelve-stringed guitar plays graceful melodies and all is led by Lisa's gossamer vocals, as delicate as a wavering candle flame.
