Eliza Carthy recently released Through That Sound (My Secret Was Made Known), a collaborative album with Fife-based composer, musician, songwriter and producer-arranger Ben Seal.
David Kidman reviewed the album here on Folk Radio noting Eliza’s liner notes comments that album track Neptune (In the Stars Wants his Bloody Pound of Fish) was originally co-written with David “Demus” Donnelly (Bevvy Sisters, Salsa Celtica) during the seven-year recordings for Eliza’s 2008 album Dreams Of Breathing Underwater and was subsequently (in keeping with the unwritten laws of album naming) omitted from the 2011 album that actually bore the title Neptune. At least it made the light of day on here…
Ben’s fresh eye has brought this song, about the vulnerability and illusions of puberty, to life again. If only we’d known how powerful we were when we were young.

The song has now been given the lockdown video treatment and we can expect more such videos from Eliza who announced that ‘The Restitute Live/Through That Sound (My Secret Was Made Known) Band will be releasing all the songs intended for the April 2020 tour in this format’.
