CD Description
In just the last few months Herbert has won two prestigious theatrical awards, had them queuing around the block at the Rochester Jazz Festival in New York (where her show was in the top ten out of over two hundred), seen her cover of Neil Young's 'Only Love Can Break Your Heart' used in a Hollywood 'rom com', appeared at Wilton's Music Hall alongside Sian Phillips and Marc Almond, written a song-cycle about the sea to debut in Aldeburgh this autumn, sung a series of 18th Century murder ballads on Radio 4, and composed and performed a specially commissioned soundtrack to silent film The Patsy at the BFI. But while this breathtaking range of activities reveals Herbert to be very much a 21st century artist able to draw on a formidable range of talents, she remains at the very heart of it all a storyteller with a fine ear for a catchy hook, as her latest single, the charming Perfect Fit amply demonstrates. Perfect Fit is also at the heart of Herbert s latest release, Clangers & Mash, a mini-album that draws on the many sides of her musical world from stripped back ukulele strums through recent classics to dark-hearted remixes that present her work in a brand new light.

Leicester Bangs Review (2010):,
By
This review is from: Clangers & Mash (Audio CD)
Gwyneth Herbert - Clangers And Mash (Naim Edge)2009's All The Ghosts album was a major breakthrough for Gwyneth Herbert, showcasing her hugely melodic songs and quirky jazz-folk delivery. Clangers And Mash isn't a proper follow-up release, but it's still a worthwhile acquisition as it includes her new "Perfect Fit" single and a selection of occasionally inspired remixes of older songs. Nine tracks in total at a little over half an hour. Best bits are the remixes of "My Mini & Me", stripped back like a latter day Tom Waits track by Polar Bear's Seb Rochford and the a cappella "Midnight Oil". 8/10.
