Husband-and-wife duo boasting great songs, beguiling lyrics and alluring chemistry. 2nd album. Hailed as a kind of antidote to the creeping Mumford-ization of roots music across the Americana world all eyes have been on the scrappy pair ever since. A record shot through with nautical imagery — a foreboding sense of impending floods, a roiling boil, a bridge on fire, a rising tide. Grinding guitar and simple percussion. (exclaim)
