A collection of songs recorded during the Unthanks tour last year, when they returned to their roots, singing unaccompanied and in harmony.

The opener All That is classic Mael brothers and would fit in with any of their most finest of works, it’s an absolute joy to behold. Wow! What an opening track to start an album with.....How on earth they are still doing it to this extremely high standard I just don’t know, but long may it continue.
It’s so very, very good to be reacquainted with White Ladder, this the 20th anniversary limited deluxe edition comes with as you would probably expect some previously unreleased tracks of original demos, rarities and B sides and for the first time ever it’s even released on vinyl.
Dripping with melancholy, this is an astonishingly assured and mature work. In an age when we select rather than browse and skim rather than immerse, it’s such a pleasure to fall across an album of such substance.
