Sue Harding: Darkling. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Nowhere in England perhaps encompasses the feeling of open beauty, of revealed fables and secret language as that of the West Country. Its accent, the sometimes-insular belief and its welcoming arms can keep the confidential close to its heart whilst allowing the rest of England to view its soul with astonishment and grudging respect.

There is nothing vague or ill-defined about the life and heartbeat of the West Country, its music, its art, its belief, and the measured darkness, is blunt in its delivery, even with the voice that carries kindness and trustworthy approach, and it is because of the darkling, the ambiguous that becomes more entrenched the further you investigate its inner shores.
