Anita Botman
These three musicians play so well together. I love the blend of the two voices and the instruments. The songwriting is also exceptional.

The trio of multi-instrumentalist Ewan MacPherson (Shooglenifty) and violist / fiddler Lauren MacColl (RANT) is completed with singer-songwriter Jenny Sturgeon. ... more

The Seer
by Lauren MacColl
supported by 59 fans who also own “Undersong”
Brilliant LP! I saw Lauren talking with Paul Murton on BBC's Grand Tours of Scotland's Lochs, discussing The Brahan Seer, the inspiration for this album. While much music in this genre can sound a little two dimensional, the production and quality of this album is superb, full of depth, really bringing out the energy, personality and soul of the music and the artists. A broad palette of instruments are on show. Genuine authenticity. Truly a joy to listen to. I wish I could hear this played live!

Free One
by Kinnaris Quintet
supported by 51 fans who also own “Undersong”
Kinnaris Quintet alternates wonderfully between sweet warmth and rapturous joy. They accomplish what all good folk music aims at. It's very difficult to make an instrumental album of this length not start to all sound the same, but every track on Free One is so well constructed as to be chapters of a moving story, finally deeply satisfied by the conclusion of the title track. By jolts and false starts it alludes to brokenness without drowning in it. It's full of a realism that sees the ugliness of the real world and yet chooses joy, and this to me is what it truly means to be free.

Bright and skipping songs that foreground the sound of the banjo and fingerstyle guitar in music that feels timeless.
