Fiddle e chitarra a 12 corde si sfregano con pipe irlandesi e chitarre elettriche in un etereo mix strano-folk. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e RECENSIONE \u003cbr\u003e An absolutely wonderful album's worth of entrancing whispered glowing heart-warming Celtic\/old English (Pagan?) folk, embroidered with cleverly delicate instrumentation. Lush golden strings and seductive woodwind, haunting glowing beauty and Rebsie has the most beguiling of voices she really is something special. Just beautiful, uncluttered, refreshing. Delicately arranged folk familiars (and a beautiful version of Pink Floyd s Julia Dream). Calming, uplifting, ethereal and a slightly new feel on something very traditional and unashamedly rooted in very old ways for fans, followers and lovers of Fairport Convention, Sandy Denny, the leaves turning golden orange and the Albion spirit that can still be found (beautiful artwork as well). --ORGAN magazine, issue 234\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHailing from Merry old England - well Cheltenham to be more precise, Rebsie Fairholm has created a shimmering masterpiece with her first solo album Mind The Gap. With a folk heart, the album crosses into psych territory on a regular basis, taking in a west-coast vibe and a healthy dose of English humour as well. Opening with the gentle sway of Round Window, all soft focus vocals and chiming piano; the album suddenly changes gear with the arrival of a pulsing electronic drumbeat heralding a vibrant rendition of The Unquiet Grave, the superb vocal performance adding majesty to the atmospheric arrangement. In her covering letter Rebsie describes her style as ethereal English dark psych-folk, something demonstrated on the spoken Spirits of the Dead and the excellent Geordie a song which could be a lost acid folk classic from the early seventies. Elsewhere the voice comes into its own on the droning ache of MacCrimmons Lament, whilst Buain A Choirce is a slice of mellow folk-rock with hints of electronica in its backing rhythms. Leaving the best until last (although I love it all), a drifting cover of Julia Dream, which sounds as though it could be the work of The Smell of Incense, so wonderful is its mellow floating psych vibe, is quickly followed by an intense and sonically perfect reading of She Moves Through The Fair. Opening with a soft drone and distant pipes, the vocals drift like mountain mist across the soundscape, creating five minutes of tender sadness as soothing as evenings fall on Midsummer. Oh yes, not to ignore the English sense of humour, anyone owning a Leafblower or living next door to one should check out Leafblower, a psych-pop gem with modern relevance. Genius. --Terrascope \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e L'ARTISTA \u003cbr\u003e Rebsie Fairholm is an English singer with a soft and haunting voice which touches the listener on a deep level. Her solo albums are rooted in darkly evocative cornfield-edge psych-folk, inspired by the land and the lingering spirits of its ancestors. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVisualizza di più\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53519637938550,"sku":"0843041068758","price":6.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_704266_850600_20241004051249.jpg?v=1728066792","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/0843041068758-mind-the-gap","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
