‘The Newest Soil’ has the most personal of feelings as the driving force so there was no surprise that it comes across as emotional, heartrending and capable of stopping the listener in their tracks. It is in essence the very best kind of ode to a lost dad/parent/guardian, crafted with folk subtlety and a narrative that we can follow every step of the way because there are teachings here that will guide us in our own journey. ‘The Newest Soil’s success also comes in an arrangement that lays on the majesty discreetly but which adds up to an emotional store that we have no right to expect from a piece of audio. Just beautiful. KH
