Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Push the boundaries enough and what you find underneath is a true calling, a mystery unravelled and the pursuit of elegance; all of which combine to bring together the founding stones of serenity and insight, of the harbouring and unleashing of secrets.

In a world that has had to find another avenue of existing other than the rush and manic expression that has dogged humanity since the lurch to praising profit rather than the artistic achievement of the collective and the individual, it is telling that the dichotomy that is evident in Folk, both the outright anger and the calmness of expression, makes itself perfectly clear in the new album by James Patterson and John Dipper, the sensational Unearthing.
