Today’s Random Album of the Day is a Demo from Thorn and Shout. They self tagged their music as folk or chamber folk. It is definitely folk and I see where they get the chamber folk designation from with the strings and arrangement in there.
I found the first song a bit boring to be honest. Sound quality isn’t great on the Demo – as is often the case. It picks up when the lady sings. Just adds a strong element and her voice is powerful. Overall I would call it solid enough folk but I find the arrangements not very vibrant. My wife seemed to feel similarly.
