What We Thought Was A Lake Was A Field Of Flax

acmochi Anyone who is taking the time to read all five-hundred characters of this comment should stop wasting their time and just preview the album. In the time it would take you to read all five-hundred of these characters, you could listen to most, if not all of track four and/or eight. Unfortunately, they are both instrumental. As such, they aren't exactly representative of the entire album. So just imagine very nice vocals on top, and that's the gist of what to expect from the rest of the album 👌👌 Favorite track: Are You Going To leave Me?.

"...exceptional in every sense of the word...certainly one of the best albums of 2022..The variety on offer across What We Thought Was A Lake Was A Field Of Flax is exceptional; the balance of pace makes it engaging, while the selection of songs makes it intriguing. Each song and tune is impeccably performed; I can’t recommend it enough."
- Folk Radio folkradio.co.uk

"...there’s a deathly beauty to the performance.....singing without gloss or artifice, that pierces to the core.....the entire thing is masterful."
- www.rootsworld.com

". Cause for rejoicing, for it perfectly
captures the warmth of interplay and complementary nature of the pair’s musicmaking....Stripped-back, but not stripped of emotion, expression or substance. The album’s a gem."
- Folk London
