I DES is perhaps the most human of King Creosote’s albums yet. As he reflects on love, loss, memory, the passing of time and inevitable demise, perhaps he is saying what, at some point or another, we’re all thinking. He just says it very nicely.

A brave melting pot of genres, Cirrus offers deep meditative epics and breezy folk under one roof. Angus McOg is determined to forge their own path, and it’s a pleasant journey to accompany them on.

Unthank : Smith talk to us about their new album ‘Nowhere and Everywhere, live performance, the recording process, their love for storytelling and Paul Smith’s teatime soundtrack.

Paul Smith and Rachel Unthank gave a captivating performance of their album Nowhere and Everywhere, and for a couple of hours, the world ground to a halt as we were taken on a journey of stories and myths. I only hope they keep telling them.

As Unthank : Smith, Rachel Unthank and Paul Smith create a stunning celebration of telling stories. Nowhere and Everywhere is a triumph, an amalgamation of musical style and a defiance of genre; one that celebrates and commemorates the experiences of ordinary people.
