Just got back from seeing them perform at The Sage Gateshead. Such an emotional but uplifting evening. Fabulous orchestra, perfect voices, stunning...

Live highlights were the spectacular "Mount The Air" and a wonderfully robust "Blue Bleezin' Blind Drunk" which had hints of chanson and Kurt Weill

First listen to new album - of course it's beautiful and although the songs are covers, they've made them their own. Melancholy a go-go!

If you pre-order Diversions Vol. 4 directly from the Unthanks website there's a lovely instantly available track (plus an exclusive second CD available to buy)

My Diversions Vol.4 vinyl arrived this morning with an exclusive 10" vinyl of extra songs. I'm gonna free up my schedule and give them both a good listen later today : )

Just left their show at The Customs House in South Shields. A stripped back super friendly evening, if a little raw. I was starstruck when the band were selling their own merchandise afterwards, wish I'd bought "The Mount The Air" vinyl, Becky was signing copies! oh well! A magical night, and the nearest this particular athiest will get to a spiritual experience...

I never realised how short Rachel and Becky are until I stood next to them last night as they signed my Mount The Air vinyl. It was the perfect end to a perfect night :¬)

Mount The Air is just... perfect. I can't wait until 7th March to see them perform again.

I'd imagined a couple of comments, what with the new album being released today. All I need to say is it's a lovely, nigh perfect way to spend an hour, especially with some good headphones and a comfy chair...

Diversions Vol 3: "Songs From The Shipyards" is both musically and thematically entirely up to the usual extremely high standard. Official release is November the 5th. Also, catch the live performance with the film if you can. It's an emotive but nonetheless excellent experience.

Anyone who can not only cover songs like Sea Song and Starless, but also more than do them justice gets my vote!

Live highlights ,for me at least, was Beckys very moving solo of 'Riverman', a rousing 'here's the tender coming' , and being able to see Rachels fine clog dancing from so close. I'm also compelled to tell the world that Rachel Unthank is completely and totally adorable... (btw the message below should read 'texting' rather than 'testing', I blame me phone)

I'm actually sitting not ten feet from Becky Unthank at their Newcastle gig (it's half time). Words can actually describe how good it is, but I really should stop testing, probably...

Thanks for a magical evening in Sevenoaks last night. It was great to hear your wonderful music stripped back to basics, warts and all. If Adrian ever calls it a day as a musician, he'd make a great stand-up comedian xD

I want to put this band through a blender and intravenously inject the fluid.

Just listening to the new album, I find the albums are always slow burners, I'm not always mad on them at first, but they grow and grow on me.
