Filmed deep in the woods by our good friend Harry Wheeler (Harmonic Rooms), watch Cath & Phil Tyler performing The Two Sisters from their new album The Ox and the Ax which is out tomorrow (30 March) via Thread Recordings.
In his review of the album (which you can read here) Glenn Kimpton concluded that The Ox and the Ax was well worth the 8 Year wait. Of the Two Sisters, he added that it was “a vital tune that has roots as far back as the sixteenth century. We’ve come across a version of this one recently, in Laura Baird‘s ‘Dreadful Wind and Rain’, a key track from I Wish I Were a Sparrow. Here, the Tyler’s play it straight, with Phil’s guitar seeking out a simple melody and Cath’s sometimes vulnerable voice lending the song authenticity and weight.”
