Album Notes & Community Reviews

Centered around the crystalline vocals and songwriting of Marian Segal, this British trio crafted an incredibly delicate, sophisticated folk-rock LP. Bolstered by luxurious string arrangements and session contributions from notable folk veterans, the melancholic, gently progressive songs shimmer with pastoral elegance. Though completely overlooked initially, the record has since been rediscovered as a minor masterpiece of the British folk revival.
