Post Description

In 2019 heb ik al eens een album van hen gespot hier (samen met June Tabor) en ik was ze een beetje uit het oog verloren. Tot ik deze nieuwe tegenkwam. Een hernieuwde kennismaking die zeer bevalt. Folk-punk, maar met behoud van de traditionele instrumenten. En hoe. 

Het album uit 2019, Fire & Fleet dat ik net noemde, is overigens ook zeer de moeite waard. 

So much time has passed since the last full studio Oysterband album, 2014’s Diamonds On The Water, that fans may have wondered were the band going to re-appear in anything like the rolling, tumbling, full force folk outfit we have loved in the past. There had been 40th anniversary touring, incredible work with June Tabor and certainly no actual mention of an ending, but sometimes things do just slowly fade, don’t they? Well, I am delighted to report that this has not been the case with the Oysterband, but surely no one could have predicted them returning with a song collection quite like ‘Read The Sky’? A real case of a band scooping up with open arms every grain of musical inspiration, flare and focus slow-cooked over the previous decades and serving up a platter that is just so vital and tasty. 

This is what you get when a band continue to make music for the best reasons, for the sheer delight they get from playing together and knowing they have something they want to say, then taking their time to ensure they put out a top-quality album worthy of the name.
