The new album, recorded at the iconic St Katherine’s Dock with support from Pete Townshend, 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓑𝓪𝓵𝓵𝓪𝓭 𝓸𝓯 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓖𝓪𝓽𝓮𝓴𝓮𝓮𝓹𝓮𝓻 features a blend of never-before-heard traditional songs and brand new
material. The songs are designed to give voice
to underrepresented groups in the folk scene today and to highlight
events we’re all going through, like the reliance on fast fashion,
increasing climate breakdown and Covid. Folk is a great equaliser and by
understanding each other we will be able to support our communities
better in modernity.
"And boy, does 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓑𝓪𝓵𝓵𝓪𝓭 𝓸𝓯 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓖𝓪𝓽𝓮𝓴𝓮𝓮𝓹𝓮𝓻 feel alive. Reid has an intense charisma, and she uses accompaniment sparingly. It is occasionally theatrical, but at no point does it feel imitative or like a recreation. Thematic parallels between past and present are easy to locate."
- Paddy Clarke, The Quietus
