Almost three years since his innovative folk-electronica album ‘Sweet England’, Moray still ploughs a solo furrow, drawing from both the folk and rock worlds, yet sitting neatly in neither. Reworkings of traditional English song dominate, far more expansive in arrangement than before. The album is, perhaps, less coherent than ‘Sweet England’. But when it works, as in the emotion-laden ‘My Sweet Rose’, the sumptuous filmic orchestration of ‘Lord Willoughby’ or the spine-tingling spookiness of ‘Nightvisiting’, it is truly stunning.
