A sense of love and lightness lingers after this eighth album has run its course.
A sober and smart record – his finest since 1999's I See a Darkness.
Children’s songs old and new, presented with a lustre and sleepy delightfulness.
Thompson’s fifth album is a winningly charming affair, showcasing his rich voice.
Melds pedal steel and electronica into something really rather gorgeous.
Mother and daughter’s first album as a folk duo is a beguiling listen.
Offers music that is rich and deep and rousing in its familiarity.
They’ve a vitality, a freshness and a rhythm that is as near to pop as folk.
The group’s third album brings a little more muscle to their punch.
Moments of brightness lend an unexpected brilliance to this soundtrack.
A youthful wilfulness meeting a tradition he loves.
The band’s scruffy-hearted charm still lies just below the surface.
A more polished performance, but still enjoyably rambunctious.
