Harmonica and cloud chamber bowls lend delicate, flashing adornment. The wonder, with this album, is that everything feels intensely ‘real’. There is no artifice here, only art, and North’s art is immediately connecting and approachable, harking back to the ages-old tradition of Folk music: music for ‘folk’, music for us all. ‘They say it’ a good day to die’ sings North and there is no melodrama here, merely humanity.
