Alison Benson, Paths & Stories. E.P. Review.

 Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Our paths once crossed and stories were exchanged, regardless of where we met, we followed the same discourse as set down by Chaucer and countless travellers before him who could weave a tale that made sense of the lives we inhabit and the structure of the world that gives us life.

Those paths, for now, seem blocked, a gate of silence has been put up in front of us and an injunction placed on our face-to-face spoken word; and yet the conversation can still flow, the meaning of our lives can still be performed, and as with all things, if they end up as a monologue, then at least the anecdote survives, the story lives on.
