Lavinia Blackwall’s ‘The Making’ is a masterwork of the acid-folk form, full of confidence and devoid of weak spots. From the title track’s seductive melange of medieval breakdowns to the Midlake classic-sounding backdoor reverie of ‘We All Get Lost’, featuring some marvellous descending vocal phrases that bring Annie Haslam of Renaissance to mind, the highlights are plentiful throughout this exquisite new album from the former Trembling Bells multi-instrumentalist and vocalist.
