"Mount the Air" - The Unthanks

[@erika7674]

I love the addition of all the brass instruments to the folk songs. Such a rich sound!

[@BenZaniline]

...and a jazz drummer!

[@rollini1]

.... Jolly splendid... 🎻🎺📯🎵🎶👌

[@benmochrie7832]

Metal, Punk, Jungle and the Unthanks.

[@EaglehawkMoonfang]

Beautiful song. Fuses the purity of folk with the romance of jazz.

Lucky Gilchrist was very, very good. This is just truly remarkable! Folk Music lives!

[@bonny123685]

Quality, vocals pure silk

[@chrisadnitt7049]

Astounding

[@petercallomon9681]

saw this at the RFH last December and coupled with the Molly Drake audiovisual; tour has made me a raving fan. Loosely termed folk, this is much more than that. If Charles Hazlehurst and the Para Orchestra are involved it must lie in the classical Genre.

Just getting to know them, and I am so impressed by their eclectic sound! Thanks to Austin Kinsley for bringing them to my attention.

+Cynthia McLaughlin Oh Cynthia, if you haven't heard or bought everything by them yet you are in for an absolute treat. Can't recommend a favourite album. All wonderful in their own ways

[@sbingham1979]

Wow, this is quite wonderful. How such talent can pass unnoticed -- is it because it is not all hyped and over-produced? I am just thrilled to know about the Unthanks -- as of yesterday. Without people such as yourself who generously post on KZbin I would still be oblivious of this great music. Thank you.

I always think that when they changed from Rachel Unthank and the Winterset to The Unthanks, that they did Niopha Keegan a disservice. Niopha, for me is the backbone of The Unthanks. A beautiful voice and amazing musician. No offense to Becky but for me, the Unthanks are Rachel and Niopha and Becky

Lyricd i'll mount the air on swallows wings to find my dearest dear and if I lose my labor and cannot find him there i quickly will become fish to swim the roaring seas i love my lord because i know my love for he loves me Ill mount the air on swallows wing to find my dearest dear and i lose my labor and cannot find him there i quickly will become fish to swim the roaring seas I love my lord because I know my love for him he loves me. I'd comb the air and ocean deep to find my dearest dear in all my days and empty nights i cannot find him there I swiftly will become a deer and scan the heavened moors ill find my love before the winter falls on these shores Ill cast all fear unto the wind and undo my soul and if in danger he tumbles from my hold ill rip the earth on which he lands and rest his head to sleep i love my lord because i know my love for he is meeeeee

[@sophiafake-virus2456]

I love my love, not I love my lord. And we can do without lords, that goes for so called "titled" individuals, and for a God in a Jewish book. God is on the side of the US military, in his name billions are oppressed and in a spell. There is no God, just the creation and the deep mystery of what that/this is, and what sustains it. No more Lords, more Love.

[@marcelvermeulen9550]

Need to order this album !

[@spudcustardx1]

just to say they are not unnoticed

[@spudcustardx1]

in case you think this is unnoticed its not

[@spudcustardx1]

Im quite rounded I like angry but I do love sublime too

[@erika7674]

A whole person, then!

[@sophiafake-virus2456]

The trumpets are very Sketches of Spain.

[@sophiafake-virus2456]

Live version at BBC folk is better
