Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
Signed, sealed, bypassing all others, the only way to get the heart of the matter is by seeing the message delivered straight to the intended recipient, without delay, without postponement, and with every conscious beat of the heart focused on it being publicly aware and abiding to the belief of capturing the sentiment in its purest, most untainted way possible.

When a marriage falls apart there are often recriminations, accusations, and a lot of heartache; a pain that amplifies the more that others get involved, an ache that never truly reconciles.
The same can be said when a nation disintegrates, when it is pulled apart on grounds of religion, political divides, outlook and more despairingly, unfairness in the act of opportunity; the only difference is that there are a lot more people involved and each one of them could find ways to make the separation more complicated, more destructive. After all we are not talking about a house or splitting the assets of a bank account, when it comes to a nation fracturing, it descends into war on an unimaginable scale.

Hard Times, whatever we do we cannot seem to escape them, the fear of the depression, the spectre of Victorian era which haunted the populace with visions of the workhouses and the possibility of starvation, we are no longer just three pay checks away from ruin, we are at the mercy of the overlords and politicians, the greed of bankers, the scourge of political idolatry, we are pawns in a harrowing situation, made deeply soulless by a virus that could and should have been contained and eradicated, the virus of capitalism.

Not all of us have the opportunity to see the world through the eyes of another soul, we may sympathise with their plight, we can perhaps engage with their worries, their suffering, be overjoyed at their feelings of love, their elation, the demands on their time, the peace they wish for; but we cannot ever fully experience what it is to see our shared surroundings and understand the way they view it.

It is a universal truth that music not only aids the soul in troubled times and blesses it with the same virtue in days of plenty, but that is an art that can take someone out of the poverty imposed upon them by government and circumstance, that it can raise them spiritually, can give them hope when dark skies are closing in, and above all, be the teacher to which they commit themselves too when all else may abandon them.

British Folk Horror or the gothic supernatural doesn’t perhaps get the respect it deserves in the 21st Century, few writers will embrace it, and it appears even less people wish to dip their toe into the murky, almost pitch black seas to which the mirroring and observances of the closed community has thrived unabated by the pressures of time, or indeed the interference of the outside world.

It is no secret that the narrative of the world has been dominated, almost completely up until recent times, by those who see through the male gaze. Such a blinkered view is one that cannot and must not persist, that we must ensure our thinking continues to embrace the sound, the imagination, the strength and presence of the feminine, of the anchor they supply when the male scripture goes horribly and desperately wrong, of the foresight and inspiration to lead when the nation calls for a different kind of approach to which the male ego cannot cope with.

That debut album, that first initial outpouring of generous performance, even in the 21st Century most people seem to think it is an album that has come naturally, that whilst you may have been writing it all your life, the easy part is over and that you can receive the applause of the multitude without breaking sweat, or suffering the anxiety of feeling as though you will be Cursed & Corrected by some who will see you as interlopers in field filled with talent and your own nightmare scenario of them having more right to be in the limelight than you.
