We're not trying to be Irish, and we haven't used too many Celtic instruments on there. It's our sound. We're bringing our style to these songs." Tim Sommer, writing in Observer, called it "the most surprising album of 2016" and an "amazing, subtle, powerful, visceral album that lays bare the soul, memories and losses of Kevin Rowland". (en)
