Rachel Unthank & The Winterset ~ The Bairns
Rather beguilling nu-folk which is slowly growing on me
Just got this from the library along with Kate Rusby's 'Awkward Annie' album. I'm not normally into folk but these aren't too bad at all. And nice to hear regional accents in full flow!
That's one benefit of a decent audio library: getting out stuff you'd never normally listen to.
Also of a nu-folk/folktronica bent are Tunng and Espers.
NP: Rob da Bank & Friends radio show from a week ago with Mogwai in session/choosing the tracks
