Northumbria sisters Rachel and Becky Unthank are unsentimental young storytellers outside of time, forging links between folk worlds old, new and other. Staunch traditionalism and sonic adventure ought to be
The Unthanks;the British counterpart to the leftfield folk leanings of Sufjan Stevens, Bonnie Prince Billy, Tom Waits and Fleet Foxes. Formerly known as Rachel Unthank & The Winterset, their second album The Bairns (2007) was Mercury Music Prize nominated and named one of The Best Albums of the Decade(worldwide, all genres) in Uncut and The Guardian. Last year's album Here's The Tender Coming uses a kaleidoscope of unlikely instruments and features in almost every UK poll for Albums of the Year. Singing in their own lilting Geordie accents, and lost in the stories
