Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

There is a quiet solemnity and gravitas in the frozen landscape that winter offers Humanity but which is shamefully overlooked by modern society in its constant pursuit of the need to be seen to be productive, productive in the disturbingly wrong way, not the industry of creative endeavour in which a field stuffed with snow captures the bleating sheep unawares and provides the captured moment for the ever present photographer. Nor in the way that a sudden snowfall on a busy city can bring it grinding to a halt causing people to stay indoors and forcing them to rest a while, perhaps talk or at least wrestle with their conscious on how Winter was at one time a chance to take stock and to mourn those lost before the snow, not to sell stock and forget to mourn the passing of time.
