Post Description

Dit valt in de categorie chamber-folk. Ik ken het niet, of ik heb het genre nog nooit zo horen noemen, maar ik was aangenaam verrast door hun manier van muziek maken. Heel bijzonder. Zal in huize Mac zeker vaker te horen zijn.

I’ve never before had the pleasure of reviewing anything quite like Brave Land, the new concept album from Canadian prairie songstress/storyweaver Raine Hamilton.  Well – I say ‘new album’ but, in fact, Brave Land has been leaking out to those who already know about this remarkable talent for the past twelve months, at the rate of one single per month – and now the cohesive whole is available.

Brave Land is a delightful, elevating piece of work that really gets as close to sheer perfection as it’s possible to be.  A concept album with the theme of mountains, and the courage, wisdom and otherworldly connection they represent, it’s a collection of acoustic chamber-folk pieces in which Raine – who plays violin and guitar and is the owner of the clearest and most divine voice you’ll hear this year – is accompanied by her friends Quintin Bart and Natanielle Felicitas on, respectively, double bass and cello.  An amalgam of folk and classical influences, Brave Land also nods regularly in the direction of gospel and even soul, and the result is simply wonderful.
