a Review by Anna Maria Stjärnell
Beck Sian is a relation to Kate Bush which hardly comes as any surprise if you hear her music. She has an ethereal voice and the Celtic influences are present and correct.
She writes her own material and adapts traditional folk songs. She's clearly her won woman and as a listening experience this album is hard to beat.
Moss sees the voice reach high, pure notes and the music sweeping along nicely.
Greensleeves is familiar territory, but this version fits into Sian's mystical soundworld. Her vocals are like something out of a dream.
Under Thunderous Skies sees Sian take a song of her own that's quite lovely and strum her guitar wonderfully.
The Foggy Dew another traditional song, gets a nicely atmospheric reading. The use of a didgeridoo elsewhere spices up the album's sound and gives it a unique flair.
Beck Sian's Unfurling is an album to treasure.
